Friday, Nov. 18: Things to do in Carson City
It’s finally Friday. The annual Salvation Army Turkey Drive runs 6 a.m. until six this evening: drop off your donation at the Max Casino in Carson or at the C.O.D. Casino in Minden. Get to know Supervisor Karen Abowd during her monthly walkabout at the Community Center; head inside to get a peek at the new art exhibit in the Sierra Room while you’re there. The Craft Fair at Carson High School is a local favorite: over 125 vendors, music, and pictures with Santa. It starts tonight and continues tomorrow. It’s the final weekend for ‘The Little Mermaid.’ Don’t miss your chance to see the talented members of Western Nevada Musical Theater doing what they do best.
