Do you want to build a snowman, Carson City? That may be ambitious with our first dusting of snow, but I’m sure you could finagle a snowball or two.

That time of the month is upon us again and here is your opportunity to help the students and staff at Eagle Valley Middle School by coming down to the Pizza Factory on Highway 50 East and enjoying some AWESOME food while raising some dough!
From opening to closing, the owners of Pizza Factory will generously donate 20 percent of the entire day's earnings back to our school to help with the Library book fair. How easy is that?
Please help us out and mange some fabulous pizzas, calzones, wings or Italian sandwiches.
We appreciate your help!

Happy Thursday, Carson City. I hope you’re ready for some fun. If you find yourself in Gardnerville, don’t miss out on their Thirsty Third Thursday Wine Walk, and wear your hula skirt – it’s Hawaiian themed. Here in town, you’ll find karaoke at Jimmy G’s Cigar Bar and Caterpillar’s Hookah Lounge. Practice your improv skills at the Brewery Arts Center. You’ll enjoy country DJ Lisa at Living the Good Life. Erin go bragh at the Firkin and Fox with their ‘Halfway to St. Patrick’s’ Party. If you enjoy a nice cigar, you won’t want to miss out on the ‘Best in Show’ party at the Carson Cigar Company.

THURSDAY:

• National Championship Air Races at the Reno Stead Airport (8am-4:30pm; $17 general admission)
• Last day of Industrial Art exhibit at the CCAI Gallery in the Courthouse: 885 E. Musser (8am-5pm)

National Grammar Day is celebrated across the United States each year on March 4, as established in 2008 by Martha Brockenbrough, founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar. I've attached a Weird Al Yankovic song that I believe best pokes fun at the sentiments of the day.

Yes. You are looking at a bunny with a pancake on its head, but I can explain.
