Spring has sprung

Spring has sprung. Days getting longer, flowers blooming, and now Easter weekend is upon us. Egg hunts, brunches, and even a parade are all part of the fun. Take a look at this weekend’s event summary for family fun, live music, and much more.

SATURDAY:

The spring thaw has arrived, and my event list is getting longer. Carson City has some fun stuff happening this weekend, so please take a look. If you haven’t made it to see Wild Horse Children’s Theater’s production of Disney’s The Aristocats, Kids, or the Carson High spring musical, ‘Kiss Me, Kate.’ what are you waiting for? Keep your eyes peeled for Girl Scouts, this is the last weekend of cookie sales.

SATURDAY:

Start the week off with a dose of art. The traveling exhibit, Always Lost: A Meditation on War, will be leaving the Legislature building after Wednesday. Spring has Sprung at the Nevada Artist’s Association Gallery at the Brewery Arts Center. Thanks to the Capital City Arts Initiative, art now adorns the Sierra Room in the Community Center: the first exhibit is titled Tuscarora. Think about how art can enhance downtown if you attend the public input sessions regarding the upcoming downtown rejuvenation project.

MONDAY:

• Be Smart About Prescription Drugs Day at the Legislature
• Customer Appreciation Month: free small iced coffee today at Dunkin Donuts
• ‘The Observation and Conclusion’ by artist Joseph Watson at the LXS Gallery in the Legislature Building

Wednesdays are such a good day for music in Carson City. Lunchtime blues at Comma Coffee, Three Olives and a Twist leading the Jazz Jam at Sassafras, tunes to dine by at Z’ Bistro, Glen Eagles, and Living the Good Life. Shake yourself out of the mid-week doldrums with some Line Dancing at Carson Lanes. Check out the list for all your options.

WEDNESDAY:

• Carson School District Spring Break
• Latino Lobby Day at the Legislature
• Customer Appreciation Month: free glazed donut with medium drink at Dunkin Donuts
