It’s going to be a chili weekend, and that has nothing to do with the weather. The annual Chili on the Comstock Competition takes over the tiny town of Virginia City, including a saloon crawl Saturday and the hilarious ‘Fun with the Runs’ 5K. Families will have a hard time choosing between the Cops and Kids Open House and Safety Fair at the Sheriff’s Office and the ‘Kids to Parks’ Day activities at Silver Saddle Ranch. Keep reading, and I apologize in advance for throwing so many great options your way.

SATURDAY:  

The Carson Host Lions Club and the Carson Nugget are sponsoring a Grand Slam Musical event to support the Carson High School girls softball program. The event features local crooner Jimmy Mallett and a bevy of our young local talent.

The event will be held on Saturday January 13, 2018 from 6 P.M to 9 P.M in the Ballroom at the Carson Nugget.

If you would like to audition for the event contact Sam Herceg at 775-721-9947 or email sherceg@pyramid.net.

Western Nevada College began its semester earlier this week, and student artists will soon be featured in a CCAI exhibit at the BRIC building on East Proctor. Catch a last glimpse of the current exhibit with Sierra Nevada College talent today or tomorrow. Read on for more ....

Feeling spicy? The weekend is almost here, so step out of your normal routine and try salsa lessons at El Charro Avita. If you’re in the mood to lounge and relax, crooner Jimmy Clifton at Living the Good Life pairs nicely with a martini. Red’s Old 395 has an incredible happy hour with half off draft beers today and a yummy menu. Rack ‘em up at Remedy’s free pool night. America’s favorite past time returns as the Reno Aces host opening night; someone buy me some Cracker Jack.

THURSDAY:

Feel like dancing, Carson City? Living the Good Life has gone country for the evening with DJ Bobby G spinning your favorite western songs. If you need to brush up on your line dancing skills, Beercade is the place to go for free lessons. It takes two to tango, but you don’t need a partner to learn to salsa at El Charro Avita tonight. If you’re more song and less dance, you can choose from Jimmy G’s Cigar Bar or the Feisty Goat Pub for karaoke. Fandango kicks off a month of Throwback Thursdays tonight with crooner Rick Radecki singing hits from yesteryear.

THURSDAY:

• Fall 2015 Back to School week at Western Nevada College; go here for a list of activites
• Victor Sandblom's "Wind on the Sea, Tracks in the Sand" at the Western Nevada College Main Gallery in the Bristlecone Building

The Silver State’s own crooner and classic country cowboy, Rick J. Radecki of Carson City, stops in at Casino Fandango to help celebrate the entertainment, food, and gambling icon’s 12th anniversary.
