CARSON CITY – Gov. Brian Sandoval has appointed Claudia Vecchio as the first director of the new Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. She will begin her job Nov. 14. The newly constituted department is comprised of the Nevada Commission on Tourism, Division of Museums and History, Nevada Arts Council and the Nevada Indian Commission.
I’ve got some bad news for the kids in Douglas County – it’s back to school for you today. Carson kids still have one last week to enjoy their summertime freedom and Lyon County has until Aug. 31. Don’t let Monday get you down, though, there’s still plenty to enjoy.
It’s only Thursday, but I expect that you have one eye on the weekend. Super Bowl, the wine walk, and the Carson High Safe Grad 5K are just around the corner. Get a jump on the fun with some karaoke at Jimmy G’s Cigar Bar, line dancing at Beercade, or music at Living the Good Life.
Today has earned a happy dance, because there will be an extra hour of daylight with which to enjoy the outdoors. Just remember to set your alarms so you aren t an hour late for work Monday!
