I remember deer hunting was a trip that my father would go on once a year. I didn’t understand why I couldn’t go, at the time I was only 5 years old. I remember all I wanted was to head out with all the big boys and go become a man. When I turned 12 I was able to go. This trip was the most amazing trip I had been on and will be in my memory for the rest of my life.

Law enforcement and public safety issues associated with Nevada Day in Carson City have been "unusually tasking" this weekend, said Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong. While the parade itself was calm for the most part, there was a significant uptick in alcohol and drug related arrests after the parade ended and when afternoon turned to evening.

A woman who spotted a man attempting to sell coins that were stolen from her home in an Oct. 28 burglary, chased him out of a store and into the streets shortly after the Nevada Day Parade ended on Saturday where Carson City sheriff’s officers then found and arrested him.

Drake Vancleave, 50, was arrested on suspicion of six felony counts including receiving stolen property, obtaining money under false pretenses and burglary, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said. He is being held on $125,737 bail.

Schedule of Events for Friday, Oct. 31

You may want to outfit your kids with jackets and ponchos tonight for trick or treating in Carson City as rain will move into the valley by early evening, and stay through much of Saturday making for a wet Nevada Day Parade, forecasters say.

Happy Nevada Day, Carson City! 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.
Every week 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. Some of it is family friendly, some is just for adults, but all of it is nearby.

Here in Carson City, the Nevada Day Parade is a great event, rain or shine, snow, wind, or likely a combination of it all. This year, we are expecting a cold one. Have no fear, however, there will be plenty of places to grab some grub, coffee, hot chocolate, bloody marys, or shelter from the rain while you watch the balloons lift off at 8 a.m. or wait for the 10 a.m. parade.

Annual Pancake Breakfasts:

UPDATE 1:24PM: Carson City Fire Chief Stacey Giomi said the leak which forced an evacuation at Fremont Elementary earlier today may be anti-freeze that was released in the boiler room heating and ventilation system.

Firefighters went through with sensors to determine if there was anything hazardous and there wasn't, Giomi said. At first it was thought to be a water softening agent, he said, but it turned out the agent was well within its containers.

"Because it was an early release day anyway, it worked out where the children were released on time, and teachers are able to go back into the school to get their things," he said. "School maintenance is looking into the boiler room and we expect there will be school tomorrow."

****
UPDATE: Parents are allowed to pick up their children this afternoon, which was already scheduled to be a half day at Fremont Elementary. The school was evacuated at around 12:30 p.m. due to fumes, believed to be from the boiler room that were originally reported to be a water softening chemical agent.
