With Friday well underway, it's time to get the weekend started. Lots of music and activities are stacked up, beginning today, in the capital city. Check out this latest blog from the Carson City Convention and Visitors Bureau on the weekend events.

If you have a desire to cruise Hot August Nights in style, check out the classic car auction going on today through Sunday at Silver Oak Golf Course.

There are more than 500 cars up for auction, everything from classic antiques to 70s muscle cars. Out of that 500, 150 cars come from the collection of Carson City businessman Garth Richards.

The event kicked off yesterday, and they celebrated with a fireworks display last night.

Most experienced Carson City hikers would probably never consider starting a trip from the beginning of the Heavenly Mountain Resort's Gondola lift in South Lake Tahoe.

Or dead Man's Creek at Washoe Lake.
