Editor's Note: Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there. Carson Now would also like to extend birthday wishes to Danielle Cook, who puts this calendar together every day for her Facebook site, I Love Carson City and for Carson Now.

Every week, I create a list of the fun stuff and events going on around the Carson City area for my Facebook page, I Love Carson City. There is quite a bit to do in our beautiful capital this week, so grab the kids, your friends and family, and have a great weekend.
My weekly Facebook list includes Friday-Thursday, so please go here for events beyond Sunday, or just wait for my daily ‘Things to do’ here on Carson Now. You do NOT need a Facebook account to access the information. If you have an event that I have overlooked, feel free to send me an email at ILoveCarsonCityNV@gmail.com.
