Birthday

Carson Raceway is proud to announce their grand re-opening on Monday, March 1 at 5:30 p.m. Carson Raceway's new owner, Joe Conroy, is a lifelong resident of Carson City and is excited about the opportunity to reopen the track.

Carson Raceway is located at 3777 N. Carson Street next to Ben's Discount Liquors.

Hours are Monday through Thursday, 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.

With Nevada Day festivities rolling this week without the coveted official parade along Carson Street, some have noted on social media their intention to rally their own independent parades.

While not illegal or encouraged, the Carson City Sheriff's Office is staffed up to make sure that whoever chooses to do anything non-sanctioned, including independent parading on Carson Street, that whatever they choose to do is done without breaking the law.

Take advantage of the crisp fall air and the gorgeous high desert scenery with a ride on the Virginia Truckee Railroad’s Pumpkin Patch Steam train.

The Nevada Day Golf Tournament is returning to Carson City this Nevada Day after a long absence from the capital city.

According to Ken Hamilton, Executive Director of Nevada Day, the Golf Tournament is making a comeback this year for the first time in over a decade.

Glen Lucky was born on Sept. 27, 1952, down in Coronado, Calif. He was like many other boys, cute, smart, happy to arrive, however, he was diagnosed with a birth defect, cerebral palsy, and his parents were advised he might not live to see 15. But Glen did live to see 15. He started riding a bike at 15, and 16 and 17. Glen turns 68 on Sunday.

Garth Richards celebrated his 85th birthday with his family and his beloved Silver Oak Golf Course. His birthday, which falls on the 13th, is also his favorite number.

The Carson City Sheriff's Office team includes some outstanding K9 Officers who make sure to keep the community safe through sniffing out drugs, taking down bad guys, tracking scents, and all around fighting the crime like only very good boys (and girls!) can.

CARSON CITY — Everyone is welcome to join the Nevada National Guard on Friday at 10:30 a.m. as it marks both the 245th birthday of U.S. Army and Flag Day with a special guest speaker and the cutting of an Army birthday cake during a Facebook Live broadcast here.

Two 23-year-old New Mexico men and a 26-year-old Carson City man were arrested in the 5000 block of Carson River Road for felony possession of or receiving stolen property.

According to the report, Stephen Henderson, Daryne James Deck and Terrance Dale Shields were arrested after deputies were dispatched to the Carson River Park to meet with the theft victim.

While we all navigate through this challenging time, I'm happy to be reminded of what's important and learn from others.

I took my Mom, Christine Reed, recently to see her best friend, Lila Balardi, at the Cedar House care facility on Mountain Street in Carson City. Until recently they were neighbors as well. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility has a temporary "no visitor" rule in place.

Ian McElhaney asked his brother at least a dozen times what he wanted for his birthday.

The 18-year-old, who liked video games and dreamed of becoming a police officer, was going to use the money he saved from doing yard work for a neighbor to buy Charles Koons the best birthday present....

After spending over a week in horrible pain, a local quad-county resident was finally able to secure a COVID-19 test. However, the situation became all that more complicated when the test was administered incorrectly by Carson City Health and Human Services (CCHHS).

CCHHS admitted to the error, and has rescheduled a second test to be performed today.

As our state faces horrific effects from the recent global outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, our thoughts and prayers go out to all of our fellow Nevadans. Together we must stand united, stay positive, and support our fellow neighbors.

Throughout our 156 year history we have encountered floods, fires, mass shootings, recessions, and other disasters, and yet here we are taking on this latest challenge with creative ways while respecting social distance.

A year ago today, firefighters were called to the historic Adele's restaurant at 5:19 a.m., during a freezing morning before the sun had even crested the hills. It wasn't a large blaze, most of it had actually been confined to the laundry room in the back of the building. But over the next several months while the popular cafe stood empty, it's doors and windows boarded shut, it was determined that the smoke damage to the building was too great to save.

Heading into the first of the work week, there's some uncertainty due to concerns over the coronavirus. Some activities will go on as scheduled while others may be canceled. We're advising you check with event organizers ahead of time before you plan on attending.

Carson City AGLOW meeting, 10 a.m. Monday, March 16 at the Carson City Children’s Museum, 813 N. Carson St, downstairs in the Birthday Room. Join friends for a time of worship, the Word and fellowship. Refreshments provided. For more information call or text Kay at 775-910-3856 or Noreen at 626-230-7924.

In light of ever-increasing Coronavirus fears and the CDC recommendations that people, especially those in high-risk groups, avoid crowds and public gatherings; Catmandu has regretfully decided to postpone the Birthday Bash party scheduled for March 28 at the Carson Nugget until June or July.

Hello fellow anglers. I had to stop and realize what time of year it was the other day. I was in Tahoe for business and had brought a heavy jacket as well as a dress jacket for work.
