Carson City Rotary's Election Night celebration Tuesday is an entertaining way to see the results. Watch the exciting outcome of the closest races in town and, of course, the presidential race. All political parties welcome.

Carson-Tahoe Hospital Foundation's fourth annual Harvesting Hope fashion show salutes cancer survivors. My son, Kyle Bacon, will be walking his grandmother, Pat Riggs, down the fashion ramp in celebration of her survival of breast cancer.
Each model is a cancer survivor. The recent loss of two outstanding men in our community, Dr. James Pitts and Eagle Valley Middle School science teacher Eric Anderson, truly brings us an awareness we need to stand united in the battle against cancer.
Give Pam Graber a call to purchase a ticket, and if you can't make the show, send a check.
