Wednesday, Aug. 2: Things to do in Carson City
UPDATE from NDOT: Last leg of Carson City Freeway opens beginning at 10 am today. Be attentive. Anticipate changing traffic patterns.
***
Wednesdays are the middle layer of a workweek sandwich: a few days down, a few days left to go. Break up the routine with Whiskey Wednesday at the Fox Brewpub. You’ll enjoy a cocktail and some education about what makes Angel’s Envy so sip-able. Carolyn Dolan takes the reins at Living the Good Life’s weekly Jazz Jam. Play seven degrees of Kevin Bacon at the Galaxy Theater – Footloose is on the big screen. If you want to take to the dance floor yourself, then DJ Cowboy Bobby has you covered and will teach you a thing or two at Carson Lanes’ Eleventh Frame Winners’ Lounge.
