All Lyon County registered Democrats are invited to attend the 2018 Precinct Caucus. All precincts will meet at Silver Stage High School, 3755 W. Spruce Ave., Silver Springs Feb 24.

Registration starts at 9:00AM, Call to Order at 10:00AM. Come participate in the organization of your party and help create a platform based on your local, state and national issues. Delegates to the county convention will be elected by those in attendance.

You can probably scratch ‘hitting the slopes’ off this weekend’s list of options, but you can hit the ‘hill’ instead: Prison Hill, to be exact. You’ll find the start and finish line for Ascent Runs’ ‘Love Can Be Cold’ 5 or 10K at the Prison Hill Southern Trailhead. If you’d rather crawl than run, Virginia City’s ‘Devil Made Me Do It’ Saloon Crawl might be for you. Find something special for your special someone at Artsy Fartsy’s annual Champagne and Jewelry Show or at the Valentine’s Craft Fair inside the Carson Mall.
