SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION CONTINUES TO GROW
Carson City's sesquicentennial is being celebrated at events throughout the year, but a special celebration is being planned for Saturday, Aug. 16. Among the events planned for that day are historical displays at the Nevada State Museum, a coin fair, a chili cook off, craft fair and a carnival at the Children's Museum of Northern Nevada.
The Coin Education Fair will run Aug. 16-17 at the Nevada State Museum and feature exhibits, raffle, lectures, workshops, gold panning and kids' activities.
The Carson City Sesquicentennial Committee is looking for sponsors, vendors, crafters, bands and anyone else who would enjoy being a part of celebrating Carson City's 150th Birthday.
