I Love Carson City's Weekend Event Summary: Feb. 21-22

Such beautiful weather this week. True to Nevada luck, the chill returns in time for the weekend. Keep your fingers crossed that the storm front brings some precipitation our way. One place it’s seasonally appropriate is the Nevada Artist Association Gallery at the Brewery Arts Center. They will be hosting an artists’ reception for their new Winter Art Show Saturday evening.

For those planning a wedding this year, head down to Walley’s Hot Springs Resort for the Fall in Love Festival. If you’ve got kids, let them celebrate the Asian New Year at the Children’s Museum with arts, crafts, and drumming.

You can’t swing a cat without hitting some live music Saturday night: choose between Sassafras, the Carson Cigar Company, the Brewery Arts Center, Bella Fiore, Glen Eagles, and A to Zen's ‘Zen Den’. If you want to do the singing, check out karaoke at the Spoke Bar and Grill, the 11th Frame Lounge in Carson Lanes, or Westside Pour House.

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. I follow the pages of local businesses and organizations, search website calendars, keep my ear to the ground, and compile a list of anything and everything going on in this community. Some of it is family friendly, some is just for adults, but all of it is nearby. 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. 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.
