Tuesday, Oct. 23: Things to do in Carson City

I hope you’ve got your Halloween costume ready. A week of various Halloween activities, trick-or-treats, and festivities for the kids begins tomorrow with the first ever Boo-nanza: a family-friendly collaboration between the Community Center, Carson City Library, and Aquatic Center. Tonight, the over 21 crowd gets to enjoy a costume contest at Alatte inside the Carson Nugget, with many more parties on the way. The Carson Chamber Singers begin their season with a performance of ‘Mostly Mozart’ at the Shepherd of the Sierra Church, just south of Best Buy.
