Carson City gets sassy this weekend with two of the major events in the community being Sassabration and the Senior Follies.
SASSABRATION
The third annual Sassabration takes place from noon to 10 p.m. July 15 at Sassafras Eclectic Food Joint, 1500 Old Hot Springs Road (in the Carson Hot Springs complex).
The event raises money for local nonprofits that provide outreach and health services to the LGBTQ community, and is conducted by restaurant owner Jayme Watts.
The day’s festivities include a Drag Race Bike Ride, at 11 a.m., which starts at Brewery Arts Center, 449 W. King St., and concludes at Sassafras, as well as an array of vendors and live music at the restaurant throughout the day.
Carson Hot Springs also will be open at no cost to celebrate Customer Appreciation Day.

The annual show celebrates its 20th year with three performances at the Carson City Community Center’s Bob Boldrick Theater, July 14-16.
