Entries are now being accepted at Nevada Artists Association for its "Spring has Sprung Show." Subject matter need not be about Spring, but it's great if it is after the Big Freeze we've had.

Welcome to Halloween and the last day of October, Carson City. Today is Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2018. Activities today feature trick or treating at the Carson Mall, the Downtown Candy Crawl, a haunted house at Western Nevada College and a harvest festival in the Carson Valley. Here's what's ahead for today:

We promise ourselves each year that this is THE year we are going to get in shape, redo our overall look, read the classics, find a new job, travel the world, run for political office, or do something different to keep ourselves current and relevant.

No time for fooling, it’s time for another wine walk: thanks to the Downtown Business Association. Every first Saturday over 30 shops, restaurants, businesses, and organizations stock up on wine and goodies and throw open their doors to the crowds of merry-makers. It's always a great reason to explore downtown. The festivities begin at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 1, and you have until 5 p.m. to hit as many stops as possible before the raffle begins.

A heartfelt ‘thank you’ to everyone who has served or is serving in our Armed Forces. Further thank yous go to their loved ones for the sacrifices they make. This Veterans’ Day several local and national businesses have some special offers for you: free food, drinks, and even pet adoptions. You’ll find them all listed here. It’s also a Friday, so Carson City has some fun packed into our little valley. Enjoy live music at Westside Pour House or Living the Good Life. It’s a DJ Dance Party at Jimmy G’s Cigar Bar.

The Carson Valley has some great resale and consignment shops that are willing to buy your gently used items or consign them for you in their shops. These are helpful ideas even if you just want to sell your items at a garage sale or on Facebook or Craigslist.

Back by popular demand is the Scarecrow Festival at the Carson Mall, held Thursday through Saturday this week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

The Downtown Business Association is proud to host a downtown Wine Walk in Carson City every single month. That does mean that you get a mix of rain, shine, and snow throughout the year. Even though highs will be in the low 50s with plenty of sunshine, wear a fall sweater or jacket. You'll have until 5 p.m. to hit as many stops as possible before the raffle begins.

Hello Carson City! It’s great to be back!

Following WNC’s graduation in May, I returned to my hometown of Haines, Alaska. Haines is a small town in southeast Alaska, 90 miles north of Juneau. It is home to 1,713 people year round (1,714 when I’m in town) and swells to 5,000 plus in the summer.

Time to wine walk, Carson City, thanks to the Downtown Business Association. Saturday, May 2, the festivities begin at 1 p.m. Grab a wine glass, map, and hand stamp at the Carson Nugget, Cactus Jack’s, Carson Jewelry and Loan, Touched by an Angel, or Bella Fiore. You have until 5 p.m. to hit as many stops as possible before the raffle begins.

WINE WALK! Are you excited? Of course you are. Last month broke records with the number of participants at the Downtown Business Association wine walk, so let’s keep up the momentum and head downtown for Carson City’s best monthly event. The flowers are blooming and that makes our capital city that much more beautiful to meander through. Fun fact: It’s National Walk Around Things Day, so downtown is the perfect destination. Grab your friends and family and plan on a great afternoon.
