It’s nice that the beginning of the school year is almost immediately rewarded with a three-day weekend. You’ll find annual events like Civil War Days in Virginia City and the Best in the West Rib Cook-off in Sparks, in addition to smaller happenings like the monthly Downtown Carson City Wine Walk and a roller derby double-header.
A concert featuring several Northern Nevada musicians will be held Saturday, Sept. 23 from 4 to 9 p.m. on Bob McFadden Plaza in downtown Carson City to benefit the Alzheimer s Association.
