Sunday, Oct. 15: Things to do around Carson City and Beyond

It’s a roller derby kind of day. Catch the Carson Victory Rollers at the Carson City Community Center as they scrimmage to raise funds for Moms on the Run. You’ve still got plenty of pumpkin opportunities with the Nevada Railroad Museum’s Harvest Train or the Corley Ranch Harvest Festival in Gardnerville. It’s a classic whodunnit on the big screen. Clue can be found at Galaxy Theaters twice today and on Wednesday. Read on for more Sunday fun.
