It’s a blast from the past weekend. Get started with some history at the Dangberg Home Historic Ranch with the Naughty Tea Mistresses. A walking tour of our haunted past begins at the corner of Third and Curry with the Downtown Ghost Walk. Celebrate Prohibition-style at the Brewery Arts Center: the annual Speakeasy Swing Dance Party wants to see you in your finest zoot suit or flapper dress. Head back to the Eighties at Living the Good Life; DJ Bobby G is spinning the hits from yesteryear.

Please come and join us for the Show And shine for the Sierra Youth Cheerleaders Hosted by the Freaks of Nature. The money will go back to the cheer leading squad to help pay for outfits equipment and all the other little things that the team would need.

Bundle up, Carson City. We aren’t afraid of a little wind, are we? The Dangberg Home Historic Ranch is celebrating our infamous Washoe Zephyr this weekend with kite making, demonstrations, and more.

Mr. Carson High

Keep up the snowy thoughts, Carson City. We desperately need the water, the ski resorts need visitors, and those mountains are so much prettier with a blanket of white. Wildcat Softball on Saturday is weather pending, so it’s too early for me to call it canceled.

The perfect reason to peruse the downtown shops and find a Valentine's gift for your special someone arrives Feb. 7. The Carson City Downtown Wine Walk is always held, rain or shine, the first Saturday of the month from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Carson took on Spanish Springs Friday night in a textbook definition of a lively varsity football game. The contest was held at Carson who came in at 2-0 prior and the Cougars of Spanish Springs who came in at 1-1. It was a close game no doubt, with Spanish Springs edging out Carson 28-27.

Why am I opposed to school uniforms at Carson High School? It’s a lengthy answer and so I’ll try to condense it. We live in a small town, with limited selection to stores. We have Wal-Mart, Target, JCPenny, and Kohl’s. We have access, in Reno, to those listed plus several more, but only a fraction of the stores that you would have in a big city. My daughter has been in the current SSA “uniforms” at the middle school for the last 2 years. Additionally I have a buying background in the fashion industry for 8 years, so I have that perspective to my argument as well.

The annual Mr. Carson High competition will be held on Friday, March 1st at 6:30 p.m. at the Carson City Community Center. Senior boys will be competing for the crown through dancing, singing and a variety of other talents. Fast Pass tickets can be purchased for $15.

This ticket includes appetizers and choice of preferred seating. General admission tickets are $7. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the CHS finance office, Sierra Adrenaline Cheer and Tumbling, CHS cheerleaders or Mr. Carson candidates.

CHS cheerleaders will be hosting a camp for kids in k-8th grade on Saturday, February 23rd from 9a.m. to noon at Eagle Valley Middle School, 4151 E Fifth St, Carson City.

Water and snack will be provided. Participants are invited to perform as a group at Mr. Carson High on Friday, March 1st at 7 p.m.

Carson City, NV—Carson High School football players will receive new helmets, shoulder pads and other equipment this year thanks to the generosity shown during the annual “Kick-Off Dinner” recently held at Carson Nugget.

At the start of each season, the Carson High Athletic Department and the Carson High Football Boosters raise money to support the program. This year the Carson Nugget provided the venue and split the revenue generated through the sale of alcohol to help the group generate income.

Come tip off this year's basketball season with a match-up between our
Virginia City High School Muckers and our Virginia City Firefighters!

On Friday, 18 November, they'll square off at the high school at 7PM, and the
price of admission is just one canned good per person. There will be raffle
prizes, a silent auction, AND another auction complete with an auctioneer, as
well as halftime sporting challenges for all.

But plan to come at 6PM: you can choose from an Americana dinner of
hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, and nachos, with varying costs per item.
