Tuesday, Nov. 10 : Things to do in Carson City

Do you want to build a snowman, Carson City? That may be ambitious with our first dusting of snow, but I’m sure you could finagle a snowball or two. Ski resorts will be opening this weekend, and fingers are crossed for a great season. Mike’s Pharmacy continues its tradition of collecting food for the less fortunate with their 17th Annual Turkey Round-up today. Relay for Life is gearing up for next year’s run, and invites everyone who would like to be involved to an informational meeting this evening. The Mile High Jazz Band returns to Comma Coffee for their monthly performance. The Carson Victory Rollers, our beloved roller derby team, are looking for new talent to join their ranks. Fresh Meat training begins today.
