Pals in Carson City

Hailee Satterwhite, 8, and Addi Paxton, 7, give Darren Riggin’s K9 ‘Tarzan’ a little love Saturday. CCSO estimates more than 1,400 hot dogs and buns, 700 sodas, 800 bottles of water, coffee, and 400 prizes were handed out during the event. The event is partially funded by a Justice Assistance Grant and the sheriff’s office, but the event has grown beyond public funding capability. Local businesses stepped up to help defray costs. Grocery Outlet donates all of the hot dogs, buns and beverages. Dan Kimm Rock It Productions has provided music and a sound system for the past 12 years. Donations from American Family Insurance, Sun Spot Tanning, Northern Nevada Coin, Manny’s One Stop Shop Automotive Repair, the Kiwanis, Emblem Club, Monarch Direct, the Downtown Business Association, Liz’s Biz, and Jamba Juice all donate funds for prizes or provide services.
