It’s a good weekend to be a kid: the Kerak Shrine Circus is in town! Well, it’s in Reno, but that isn’t too far of a drive for elephants, clowns, and cotton candy. Also in Reno, but intended for a slightly older audience, is the Lady Luck Tattoo and Art Expo, coincidentally held at Circus Circus.
For the outdoorsy-types you can join in the March to End Senior Hunger 5K in Dayton; the 5K Glow Run benefitting the Western Nevada College Softball Team; or join a ranger at Washoe Lake State Park for a guided hike.
Music lovers can choose from the Trey Stone band at Carson Cigar Co., CW and Mr. Spoons at the Brewery Arts Center, blues with the Boonedoggles in the A to Zen ‘Zen Den.’ The Carson Chamber Singers 30th Anniversary Concert is sure to be something special.
Please take a look at the whole list; there is something for almost everyone this weekend in the Carson City area.
Every week, I create a list of the fun stuff and events going on around the Carson City area for my Facebook page, I Love Carson City. There is quite a bit to do in our beautiful capital this week, so grab the kids, your friends, and family and have a great weekend.
My weekly Facebook list includes Friday-Thursday, so please go here for events beyond Sunday, or just wait for my daily ‘Things to do’ here on Carson Now. You do NOT need a Facebook account to access the information. If you have an event that I have overlooked, feel free to send me an email at ILoveCarsonCityNV@gmail.com.
