Thursday, Nov. 23: Things to do on Thanksgiving
A very happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Because of the holiday, just about everywhere will be closed with the exception of casinos and a few grocery stores with limited hours. Earn yourself a second helping of pie by participating in the annual Turkey Trot. In Carson City, you’ll start the 5K or 8K run at the Governor’s Mansion on Mountain Street. If you’re in the Carson Valley, head to Minden Park for their inaugural 5K. Community tradition continues at the Carson Nugget, where anyone and everyone is invited for a free turkey dinner in their upstairs ballroom, courtesy of FISH, the Salvation Army and the Carson Nugget. If you want to meet up with friends after the table has been cleared, you’ll find a few local watering holes open this evening.
