Wind Chimes

Heading into Christmas Eve, activities around the capital city are winding down, but the last minute shopping will continue, so prepare for that rush on the roadways and at local stores. It is the last day of the Holiday Craft Show at Carson Mall, so stop on by. There are no planned Muscle Powered fitness events scheduled. Christmas Eve church services are at First Presbyterian Church in Carson City and other places of worship around town. Here's what's ahead Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2019.

Heading into Monday, it sure does feel like Christmas around the capital City. With only two shopping days left until Christmas be sure stop by the Carson Mall for the final days of its Holiday Craft Show. Weather wise we're looking at some valley snow showers into the afternoon and evening. Activities include a spirited discussion by local historian CW Bayer about the origins of Reno's tawdry reputation, plus Carson Cigar Company will hold its annual Ugly Sweater Christmas Party. Read on for details.

The annual Carson Mall Holiday Craft Show is now underway! Every day until Christmas Eve from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., you can visit the Carson Mall in Carson City, which has been turned into a winter wonderland.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and Carson City residents showed up in masses to start their holiday shopping. Carson High School (CHS) played host to over a hundred crafters, artisans, candy makers, knitters and even more happy shoppers at this weekend’s 25th Annual Holiday Craft Fair.

Will Carson City see several inches of snow on the ground from a winter storm expected to blow through region beginning Thursday? National Weather Service forecasters are leaning toward a resound yes.

I was awakened last week out of a sound sleep by the windows rattling and the bed shaking violently. The wind chimes were going crazy. About 15 minutes later, it happened again.

Earthquake!

The dictionary defines "fixture" as something that remains in place, an established part of something else.

In downtown Carson City, there are a number of businesses that can make a case for being fixtures, storied parts of the Nevada state capital.

But few are as endearing to so many as Mom and Pop's Diner.

What a beautiful way to welcome the Holidays. Tuned hand bells were first introduced in England in the late 17th century, as an adjunt to ringing the big bells found in church towers. Our local Methodist Church Bell Choir has been together for more than 10 yeas, and is led by Michele Powers. There is no better way to kick off our celebratory spirit. 6:30pm.

Mills Park in Carson City was transformed this weekend into a scene right out of U.S. History. This year's Carson City Rendezvous celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Pony Express.
