Sunday, July 16: Happenings and events around Carson City and beyond
Take it easy today, that’s what Sundays are for. An afternoon porch party at the historic Genoa Bar combines live music by Deception and slushy rum runners. Dutch oven cooking is a camp-time favorite, and the rangers at Mormon Station State Park will be giving a demonstration on how easy and delicious it can be. They’ll give out samples until the pot runs dry, so get their early for something yummy. Keep reading for more lazy Sunday happenings.
