Karson Kruzers

Karson Kruzers car club is cancelling their 35th Year "Run What Cha Brung" car show, which would have been July 25, 2020 at Mills Park in Carson City. We will reschedule for next year, July 24, 2021.

Carson High School Principal Gavin Ward stood at the north entrance high-fiving students as they entered high school, some of them for the first time. In fact, counselors, teachers, and other administrators stood at each of the school entrances welcoming students to the best high school in the state, hyperbole aside.

Good morning Carson City, and happy Saturday! Get ready for a hot, sunny summer day with a high of 93. We’ve got a full day ahead of us so check out below and take your pick!

People who show up to the Run What Cha Brung show next weekend will see cars from the early 1920s all the way up to 2017. “It’s a huge gamut,” said Loretta Marcin, president of the Karson Kruzers. “We respect anything that the car owner likes.”
