I have long found it impossible to decide which Carson City event is my favorite: forever waffling between Nevada Day and the Taste of Downtown. Seeing as the annual parade is still months away, I’m going to side with ‘The Taste’ purely for its timeliness. With over forty local eateries participating, multiple raffles at downtown shops, and seven bands rocking every corner of the event, it’s practically impossible to have a bad time. This might be the biggest happening in town, but it’s by no means the only good time: read on for all this weekend’s options.

Into every life, a little trash must fall. A whole lot of trash, however, might be involved if you’re a beach.

The True Grit Exhibit at Western Nevada College comes to a close tomorrow, so head up there before it hits the trail.
