Wednesday, Oct. 19: Things to do in Carson City

Whoo-hoo for Wednesday. The week keeps plugging along and the temperatures are rising. Head to McFadden Plaza for this afternoon’s Farmers Market; they are almost over for the year. Keep close to downtown and take advantage of the Brewers Cabinet Tap Takeover of the Firkin and Fox. Grab the mic at SlotWorld’s karaoke night. Enjoy good food, drink, and music as John and Cherie Shipley host the jazz jam at Living the Good Life. Put on your thinking cap and grab your smartest friends if you want to compete in the Geeks Who Drink pub quiz at Westside Pour House.
