I Love Carson City's Weekend Event Summary: Jan. 31 - Feb. 1

I Love Carson City

There are a few big questions to ask yourself this weekend. Patriots or Seahawks? Where are you going to watch the game? And who is going to have the best commercial? Just remember to be safe on game day and have a designated driver handy.

Speaking of sports, sign-ups are going on Saturday for Little League, AYSO, and the Sierra Nevada Football League. Spring is almost upon us without ever really giving us a decent taste of winter.

Every week, I create a list of the fun stuff and events going on around the Carson City area for my Facebook page, I Love Carson City. I follow the pages of local businesses and organizations, search website calendars, keep my ear to the ground, and compile a list of anything and everything going on in this community. Some of it is family friendly, some is just for adults, but all of it is nearby. There is quite a bit to do in our beautiful capital this week, so grab the kids, your friends, and family and have a great weekend.

My weekly Facebook list includes Friday-Thursday, so please go here for events beyond Sunday. You do NOT need a Facebook account to access the information. If you have an event that I have overlooked, feel free to send me an email at ILoveCarsonCityNV@gmail.com.
