Ely, Nev. – The Nevada Northern Railway is not your usual traditional museum with stationary buildings, equipment and trains that may not even tie to the history of the area.

The 17th Taste of Downtown brought Carson City citizens together again, celebrating what makes the community rich in spirit despite the hard economic times. The annual event brought people of all ages and backgrounds together to celebrate and give to a temendously worthwhile and much-supported organization, Advocates to End Domestic Violence.

The Appeal has a story this morning about Mom & Pop's owner Doug Cramer being pushed out of the Fridays@3rd Street event he started nine years ago.

I've been talking with Doug about this situation, and there are a few interesting things left out of this story.

A nice photo gallery and story can be found today at aroundcarson.com announcing the opening of the daycare and learning center at Carson Lanes Retail Center.
This state-licensed child care center is available for 38 children from ages infant to 5 years of age. Director Kassie Shepard has more than 15 years experience in the childcare field working and specializes in infants and toddlers.

Weed Track and Attack attendees will learn how to use a global positioning system (GPS) to find a specific spot and how to tell someone else to find the same location. They will learn also about the wet meadow environment of Riverview park and will learn to identify several weeds that are so harmful to the environment that Nevada lawmakers have labeled them "noxious". Come learn more about your park and have fun learning technology. Registration is limited to the first 30 registrants. All ages welcome.

The Downtown Coin Club staged its first coin show over the weekend at the Carson Nugget.

The event drew 675 adults, plus a number of kids who were rewarded with a Wheat cent album, and were allowed to begin filling it by picking through a pile of 5,000 of the coins.

Ron Roberts from the Nevada State Museum gave each kid who picked out Foreign coins a trip around the globe, showing them the country and telling them the denomination.

Carson City Performing Arts presents a 17-year tradition in theater for children and their families with a performance of Sahara Nights this Friday night, April 23. This is a pop culture spoof and lighthearted comedy, intended for all ages.

The performance will be in the Bob Boldrick Theater at the Carson City Community Center. No charge but donations greatly appreciated at the door.

The event begins at 7:30 p.m. For more information call (775) 230-8919.

With veiled threats to the governors of Nevada and several other states last month by a far-right militia group, the amount of anti-government fervor may be boiling over nationally, but all is peaceful today in Carson City as more than a thousand have gathered at the Capitol to protest President Barack Obama, Sen. Harry Reid and health care.

Oh, and taxes. But there were far more anti-Obama and Harry Reid signs and a few Hitler ones than anything remotely about the IRS, today being the filing deadline for federal income taxes.

It's time for the skinny skier, skiers, snowshoers and fit bodies race up the mountain in the Annual Billy Dutton Uphill, in honor of late local luminary, Billy Dutton. The original “run what ya brung” race is an uphill answer to the famous ‘Chinese Downhill’ of the 70s. Starting from the bottom of KT-22, the course climbs 2,000 vertical feet over 3.2 miles to the finish at High Camp, at 8,200 feet.
It's enough to take your breath away just thinking about it.
The Billy Dutton Uphill race is open to Nordic skiers, snowshoers, runners and outdoor enthusiasts of all ages.
