You can probably take ‘beach day’ off of your agenda. Spring has been briefly usurped by a blustery chill. Grab a coat and hit the town anyway. The early spring farmers market downtown, the Cops and Kids event at the Sheriff’s Department, and the Annual Relay for Life at Mills Park are still a good time. This weekend is jam-packed full of fun, so take a look at the weekend event summary for your options indoors and out.

SATURDAY:

Deb Kytle welcomed a few dozen supporters Thursday night with a hug and a warm smile as she celebrated the grand opening of her business's new location in Carson City's historic west side neighborhood.

Toni Thompson has long had a love for the American West and its history. It shows both in the decor of her retail store and in the building she rents.

Also in this program, Doug Cramer from Mom & Pop's Diner speaks about access and the future of the Bob McFadden Plaza, being constructed in the area of Third and Curry.

Catmandu has closed the gates and is not taking in any more cats or kittens at this time. Unless Carson City and the surrounding communities open their wallets and start providing support, the facility will likely not re-open.

The public is invited to celebrate the new home of Chi Skin Care and Massage, now located at 1203 N. Nevada Street in Carson City, with an open house celebration Thursday, May 19, beginning at 4 p.m.

Owner Deb Kytle said she couldn't be more pleased with the new space, a quaint residential building on Carson City's historic west side that nicely accommodates the needs of her business's skin treatment and massage therapy services.

"I just fell in love with the place," she said.

What do you want from your local Government ? Generally we answer that question with: Provide Fire and Police first. I suggest we have a more elemental need. We want the TRUTH.

Without truth there is no trust.

Carson City residents Matthew Bartak and Teak Dopf have got inertia down to a science. They haven't stopped moving since the first time they touched a set of wheels.

They've ridden bikes, skateboards, scooters and skates. They loved them all so much that the two friends became partners in a business two years ago that took their passion for riding to another level.

The Nevada state capital has seen its share of natural disasters and citywide emergencies.

There is an emergency operations center, he said, that enhances communication between public safety and public works departments during local emergencies.
