We will also be drawing the winner of our annual 50/50 raffle; the winner will receive 50 percent of the proceeds and the winners of the raffles from years past have made anywhere from $600- $1000.

Good morning Carson City and happy Saturday! It’s going to be a bit breezy today with 14 mph winds, partly cloudy skies and a high of 61 degrees. Low will be 39. Easter weekend has officially begun, and on the docket today we have the Underwater Easter Egg Hunt, the Carson Mall Candy Walk, a wildflower walk through King’s Canyon, and more!

Easter is this upcoming weekend, which means there will be a lot of small children, colored eggs, pastel colors, bunnies, candy, and festive spirits to be had. But Easter Sunday isn't the only day for egg hunts. Here's a list of upcoming egg-related activities for Carson City residents.

Celebrate the Easter season with friends and family at Western Nevada College in Carson City this Saturday.

March 14, or 3.14, is jokingly referred to as ‘Pi Day’ because of its resemblance to the mathematical constant. The Tahoe Mountain Milers host a fun run every year to celebrate. If you can run 3.14 miles in a time closest to 31.4 minutes, the bragging rights, and a delicious pie, will be yours. Spaghetti is on the menu at the Nevada Governor’s Mansion where the Nurses of Western Nevada College are hosting a fundraiser.

Please join the National Student Nurses Association, Western Nevada College Chapter- for a night of food, fun, and fundraising! Our nursing program has strong support from our college, and was just ranked in the top three nursing programs here in the state of Nevada.
