Washington

This time of year, the Nevada state capital is filled with traditions. One that has grown especially endearing to the Carson City community is the annual Pets of the Homeless fundraiser presented by Carpa Nevada, LLC and Downtown Coin.

An 88-year-old Carson City woman who has dedicated the past 15 years helping people throughout Northern Nevada learn English and become American citizens is among 10 finalists selected by CNN as a Top Hero for 2018.

A mother bear and two cubs were spotted in a tree Monday morning in the area of Ormbsy and Washington streets in Carson City.

It's parade day in Carson City, which means a host of Nevada Day activities throughout the state capital all day long.

Of course, the 80th annual Nevada Day Parade is the centerpiece of the Silver State's 154th birthday celebration.

What is the longest email you've ever written and sent to someone? Were they afraid to read it? Were you?

I've written some doozies in my time, but they were never quite the novella that the original Nevada State Constitution was; 175 transcribed pages transmitted entirely by telegraph wire.

Nevada's celebration of statehood provides for a bevy of activities that showcase the Silver State's best. From contests to exhibits, food and beverages of all kinds, Native dancing, hot air balloons, concerts, a carnival celebration at Mills Park and the famed Nevada Day parade, there is something for everyone throughout the long weekend.

Nevada looked OK in the first half of its exhibition basketball game Sunday with Washington.

Both teams started out hot on offense. The visiting Huskies stayed hot longer, and they went on a 10-1 run. However, the Wolf Pack roared back with a run of its own. The crowd was fired up and Lawlor Events Center felt like it did last season. That Sweet 16 season. Every time Jordan Caroline scored, the band sang a cappela “Sweet Caroline.” At intermission, Nevada led by a point.

To read part one, click here. After a battle with Utah Mormons, new prospectors, and a vigilante committee, Nevada finally won its right to be an official U.S. territory in 1861, most likely due to the fact that the Comstock Lode was discovered in 1859, and supplied the Union with much needed gold and silver deposits.

The greatest day of the year is close at hand: Nevada Day. The day in which the capitol of Nevada, Carson City, practically shuts down to celebrate our statehood, which took place on October 31, 1864.

While the majority of the United States don’t celebrate their Statehood, those that do participate don’t have quite the same gusto for the celebration that Carson City does.

What does it mean to be a Nevadan? What does it mean to be Battle Born?

Hello Carson City, today is Monday, Oct. 22, 2018. As another weekend ends, a short work week begins with Friday officially Nevada Day, a state holiday and a weekend of festivities ahead including Saturday's famed Nevada Day parade.

Nevada’s six-man rotation might not be just a Sweet 16 memory.

The Wolf Pack showcased it 2018-19 team on Sunday in an exhibition game before 4,069 in the Lawlor Events Center, losing to Washington in what coach Eric Musselman called, “the worst home performance we’ve played since I’ve been here.”

For a team with national championship aspirations, cupcakes are not recommended for the preseason schedule. With the Pac-12’s Washington as the first exhibition-game opponent, Nevada doesn’t need to worry about a noncompetitive game.

The Wolf Pack will host the Huskies at 3 p.m. Sunday at Lawlor Events Center in Reno. Coach Eric Musselman expects a dog fight.
