What’s going on Wednesday? Bike to School Day, jazz, and some ideas for Mom

This week is just flying by and the weekend is just around the corner. Mothers’ Day is this Sunday and there will be plenty of ways to spoil Mom. A trip to Virginia City on the V & T Steam Train is always memorable. The annual RSVP Spring Celebration Carnival opens tomorrow in Mills Park. Western Nevada Musical Theater Company’s production of ‘Singin in the Rain’ debuts on Friday night; theater tickets make for a great gift. Keep your eyes on the road today.
