Wednesday, May 18: Things to do in Carson City

Spring fever is upon many of us, probably worst of all among the school kids. Let the Carson High School bands and theater program show off their stuff one last time before the end of the year; you'll find them at the Community Center at 7 p.m. It's also the time of year that sees more walkers and bicyclists on our sidewalks and roadways. Join Muscle Powered this evening as they participate in the 13th Annual Ride of Silence to remember those who have been hurt or killed while riding on public streets. Don't forget to share the road and give three feet of space to those who choose to use two wheels to get around. Take a look at today's list for music and more happening around Carson City.
