Event Date:
June 8, 2016 (All day)
I hope no one accuses Wednesdays in Carson City to be boring: they're shaping up to be a happening little midweek reprieve. A new Farmers Market has sprouted on Third Street; Geeks Who Drink Pub Quiz night at Westside Pour House tests your savvy; and a Jazz Jam at Living the Good Life will get you jiving. The Firkin and Fox offers up Jack Daniels as this month's Whiskey Wednesday spirit. Speaking of whiskey, Americana/roots rock performer Stacy Jones hits the stage at Sassafras during her 'Whiskey in the West' tour.
