Due to anticipated cold, wet, windy weather conditions Carson City Sheriff’s Office regrets to inform the community of the cancellation of the Cops and Kids Safe Streets Party which was scheduled for Saturday, May 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Sunshine and bright faces moved like a breeze through Carson City’s safest street early Saturday at the 13th annual all-ages Cops and Kids event hosted by the Carson City Sheriff’s Office.

The block party brought children, their parents and grandparents, families and friends for a morning and mid afternoon of refreshments, music, safety demonstrations and games.

You can probably take ‘beach day’ off of your agenda. Spring has been briefly usurped by a blustery chill. Grab a coat and hit the town anyway. The early spring farmers market downtown, the Cops and Kids event at the Sheriff’s Department, and the Annual Relay for Life at Mills Park are still a good time. This weekend is jam-packed full of fun, so take a look at the weekend event summary for your options indoors and out.

SATURDAY:

Saturday events at Carson High School, Mills Park and the Carson City Sheriff’s Office may cause some delays for motorists but there’s plenty of parking to be found for everyone going each event, organizers say.

An all-ages invitation is extended to the safest street party in Carson City this Saturday at the Carson City Sheriff’s Office.

The 13th annual Cops and Kids is an all-out community gathering where parents and children can participate in games and activities all designed with family, health and safety in mind. The street party spans two blocks and features refreshments, music, safety demonstrations, games and more. It regularly sees at least a thousand or more children in attendance.

A Sunday matinee is a perfect family friendly activity. If you find yourself at the Galaxy Theater this afternoon, check out the booth sponsored by NDOT and the Head Injury Association of Northern Nevada. You may walk away with a free bike helmet or be the lucky winner of a bike from Bike Habitat.

SUNDAY:

• Nevada Artists Association Art Exhibit featuring Howard Friedman and Photography by Chas. H. McDonnell, III at the Carson Visitor Center (8am-5pm)
• Food Drive; Sock and Glove Tree for Do Drop In at Evergreen Gene’s: 1811 N. Carson (10am-5pm)

The gift wrap has been shredded, the eggs nogged, and the carols sung. Now it’s time to show off our great city to your out-of-town visitors. The Nevada State Museum, the twinkling Capitol, and the Children’s Museum of Northern Nevada are a good place to start.

SATURDAY:

• Nevada Artists Association Art Exhibit featuring Howard Friedman and Photography by Chas. H. McDonnell, III at the Carson Visitor Center (8am-5pm)
• Coffee and Donuts with EAA Sierra Chapter 403 at 2500 E. College Pkwy (8:30am-12pm, all welcome)

Food For Thought would like to think all the people who came out and supported us at our Saddle Up For Kids Events. Friday, June 28th’s dinner at the Governor’s Mansion and Saturday, June 29th’s Carnival at Mills Park wouldn’t have been as successful if not for our volunteers!
