Wednesday, Nov. 15: Things to do in Carson City

It has been said that those who can’t ‘do,’ teach. ‘Inspirations,’ the newest art exhibit in the Community Development Building by City Hall, proves that adage a lie. At the reception tonight, you’ll get the chance to meet regional art teachers that are still practicing their passion. Due Sorella, the cute little shop at the corner of Musser and North Curry, welcomes you to their Holiday Open House tonight where you’re sure to find something to make your house homier. There aren’t any lessons tonight, but you’ll still find a country dance party at the Eleventh Frame Lounge in Carson Lanes. Keep reading and see what else Wednesday has to offer.
