I Love Carson City's Weekend Event Summary: October 24-26

Happy Friday, Carson City. Many people in our area have Facebook accounts, but not everyone, so I am pleased to bring you the event list that is featured on my Facebook page, I love Carson City.
Every week, as I have for the last two years, I follow the pages of local businesses and organizations, search website calendars, and compile a list of anything and everything going on in this community. Some of it is family friendly, some is just for adults, but all of it is nearby.
My weekly Facebook list includes Friday-Thursday, so please go here for events beyond Sunday. You do NOT need a Facebook account to access the information.
