There are a few big questions to ask yourself this weekend. Patriots or Seahawks? Where are you going to watch the game? And who is going to have the best commercial? Just remember to be safe on game day and have a designated driver handy.

Speaking of sports, sign-ups are going on Saturday for Little League, AYSO, and the Sierra Nevada Football League. Spring is almost upon us without ever really giving us a decent taste of winter.

Today, Mayor Bob Crowell will deliver the State of the City Address to the Chamber of Commerce’s Soup’s On luncheon. It is sold out, so for those without tickets, you can catch it online later this week.

If you have some Legos handy, you may want to commemorate the 57th Anniversary of the little brick’s patent while celebrating National Have Fun at Work Day. It’s probably a safer bet than trying to celebrate National Kazoo Day at work.

WEDNESDAY:

First things first. I want to send a big shout out and good luck to all of our Carson kids that are competing at the Flips Invitational Gymnastics meet in Reno this weekend. For those of you who aren't the proud parents of tumblers, Carson City has plenty to keep you busy.

Let’s call this Roller Derby Wednesday. Carson’s own Victory Rollers are looking for fresh meat and are holding a six week class (off roller skates) to show everyone the ropes. They hope to see you tonight at Bordewich Elementary School. Just down the street, the Brewery Arts Center has an Improv workshop starting at 6:30 p.m. If you’ve wanted to attend the First Friday Improv, but have been a little shy, this is a great chance to learn about what goes on and how to jump in the fray. Be warned, you will probably have some fun.

The weekend returns, and with it a new chance to do something fun. The Brewery Arts Center is hosting its annual ‘Winter, Wine, and All That Jazz’ fundraiser, and it promises to be better than ever with performances by Le Cirque Vagabond, Starr Nixdorf, a live Jazz Orchestra and more.

Here is the full text of Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval's speech delivered to the Nevada Legislature Thursday, Jan. 15, 2015.

Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Members of the Legislature, Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court, Constitutional Officers:

Today is unofficially National Dress Up Your Pet Day. It’s pretty self-explanatory, so have some fun with this. If you dress up your pooch as William Tell, he’ll fit in perfectly at the Clear Creek Bowman Indoor Archery Shoot tonight at the Fuji Park Exhibition Hall. If your kitty looks pretty as a cowboy, then check out Country Line Dancing at the 11th Frame Lounge inside Carson Lanes.

WEDNESDAY:

Welcome to the weekend. Once again Carson Now brings you a list of what’s going on, and I suspect you’ve seen the daily lists Monday-Friday. This little valley is anything but sleepy. This weekend you can find Uncle Funkel playing at the Carson Cigar Company or Celtic traditional/rock fusion band, the Clarke Brothers at the Brewery Arts Center. Annie, Jr. will be at the Bob Boldrick Theater for this weekend only, so make sure to catch the amazing kids from Youth Theater Carson City.

Music isn’t just for the weekends in Carson City. Dave Leather will sing you the blues at Comma Coffee during your lunch hour and you will find live music at Glen Eagles Restaurant and at Living the Good Life Bistro and Nightclub in the evening. Take a look at the new art hanging up at Comma Coffee as they host their monthly Backseat Gallery Artist Reception.

WEDNESDAY:

• Curbside Christmas Tree Recycling: cut them if over six feet; put it out on your regular trash day

Welcome to the weekend, Carson City! The first Saturday is always fun here, the Downtown Business Association hosts their monthly wine walk, rain, snow, or shine; and don't miss the raffle with some great prizes. The Elks Lodge is holding a hoop shoot contest for ages 8-13 (as of April 1, 2015), with the winners headed to the District Hoop Shoot in Reno. This is also the last weekend to enjoy a sleigh ride at Sand Harbor; bundle up and enjoy a gorgeous view.

It has finally arrived, the last day of 2014. It is also a Wednesday, so there are some typical Wednesday things going on about town, but New Year’s is the big deal today. Below is listed a plethora of local New Year’s activities, so take a gander, get yourself dressed up, and have a fantastic (and safe) night on the town! At risk of sounding cliché, see you next year, Carson City!

Wednesday:

• Arlington Square Ice Rink: Winter Break Schedule (Sessions 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., 2p.m. - 5 p.m., 6 p.m. - 9p.m; $7/$5 kids, $3 Skate Rental)
• Blues with David Leather at Comma Coffee (12pm-2pm)
• ’Wine-down Wednesday’ All day happy hour at Bella Fiore

Happy Friday, Carson City, the holidays are upon us in full force! Hanukkah has begun and Christmas is less than a week away.

The July 4 holiday weekend has arrived and there are plenty of activities going on today through the weekend around Carson City.

The Nevada Rural Counties RVSP carnival runs through the weekend at Mills Park. Tonight RSVP will host a spectacular fireworks celebration over Carson City to go along with its 22nd annual holiday carnival.

When I explain chiropractic to my patients, the most important thing I stress is that having a properly functioning nervous system ultimately allows us to function properly and connects us to our source.

There was a prom king and a queen to be crowned yet again at the 2014 Friendship Ball this last Saturday. The event took place from about 6:30-9 P.M. at Carson High School’s Senator Square.
