I Love Carson City

Happy Friday, Carson City! We have survived 'HalloweeNevada' Day and now it's time to enjoy the autumn weather, warm drinks, good music, and the craft fair season.

Many people in our area have Facebook accounts, but not everyone, so I am pleased to bring you the event list that is featured on my Facebook page, I love Carson City.
I follow the pages of local businesses and organizations, search website calendars, and compile a list of anything and everything going on in this community weekly. Some of it is family friendly, some is just for adults, but all of it is nearby.
