Tree City USA

It's officially Arbor Day and the day to hug a tree! Or, better, plant one!

That's what some of the members of the Chamber's Leadership Class did early Friday morning as phase one of their class project.

To celebrate Carson City’s 25th anniversary of becoming a Tree City USA, Carson City Parks and Recreation with and the Before and After School Program planted new trees in Mills Park on Arbor Day.

Kids from the program, as well as the public, were treated to an education lesson following the planting about the importance of trees, and Mayor Bob Crowell wrote a proclamation for the event.

You may ask yourself, seriously, is it almost May already? Seriously. It is. Time keeps ticking away and the temperature gauge keeps heading North. Going into Friday, April 26, 2019 there's a bevy of entertainment, presentations, a dramatic reading, live music, comedy and more as a jump start to your weekend. Read on and enjoy.
