SILVER DOLLARS AND WOODEN NICKELS: 200 concerts for Carson City Symphony is music to our ears

Silver Dollars and Wooden Nickels is a weekly feature in the Appeal’s Opinion pages in which the Appeal gives Silver Dollars to those who deserve recognition and occasionally a Wooden Nickel to those who deserve criticism.

SILVER DOLLAR: Congratulations to the Carson City Symphony, directed by David Bugli, who will perform their 200th concert on Sunday at the Carson City Community Center’s Bob Boldrick Theater.
