Tuesday, Nov. 29: Things to do in Carson City

Today is the National Day of Giving, a day to think about the charities that help make our communities a better place. Choose your favorite non-profit and put them on your gift list; help them help others. Do yourself a favor and get one step ahead of flu season with the vaccination clinic at the Carson Library today. It’s a chilly day, but it’s always hot on the dance floor: country dance at Carson Lanes or swing dance at El Charro Avita will get your blood pumping. Cryptic Wisdom, a mixture of grungy alternative rock and poetic hip-hop music, makes an appearance at Sassafras as part of his One Take Takeover Tour. It’s open to all ages and sure to make this Tuesday anything but average.
