Wednesday, September 2: Things to do in Carson City
Hungry? The Best in the West Rib Cook-off starts today in Sparks’ Victorian Square. It continues until Monday, so there is plenty of time to get your fill of bar-be-que. Explore the World at the Carson City Library tonight. Valarie Wilson gives a presentation on her time as a student at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey. Step into the past with Wild Bill Hickock and Buffalo Bill Cody at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park. Enjoy the new art exhibit at Comma Coffee; ‘See the World Through My Eyes’ by Linda Arnn Arteno is the feature of tonight’s artist reception. Get your thinking cap on: Geeks Who Drink trivia is every Wednesday at Lake Tahoe Brewery.
