August 29, 2016 (All day)
Welcome back, Wildcats. Western Nevada College kicks off a week of festivities at today with some free donuts and pizza. Those not headed back to school might be headed back to the Playa: Burning Man has begun, so keep your eyes peeled for some crazy looking cars on the road. A new exhibit featuring local high school artists can be found downtown in the Community Development building next to City Hall. The Visitor Center now offers a self-guided walking tour of our art galleries and exhibits, so swing by, grab the map, and enjoy exploring our beautiful, albeit construction-laden, downtown.
