What's happening around Carson City on Saturday, Nov. 3
Take advantage of the extra daylight while it lasts. Saturday is the final day of the year for Daylight Savings Time. Be sure to "fall back" one hour on your clocks Saturday night into early Sunday when Standard Time takes over.
But just because there will be less daylight doesn't there's less to do around Carson City.
