Monday, Dec. 4: Things to do in Carson City

Jack Frost definitely has his icy fingers wrapped around today. It’s going to be a chilly one, so bundle up. With Christmas morning just three weeks away, the holidays are in full swing. Get a look at all of the seasonal fun that’s on it’s way in my list of holiday happenings HERE. Today, you can get some swing in your step with the High Sierra Swing Dance Club: every Monday they meet at Carson Lanes for a lesson and a few hours of dancing. It’s a good night to see twinkly lights: downtown is all lit up and Nevada Christmas off Stephanie Way in Minden has a light display that dances to music.
