February 2 is Groundhog Day or Candlemas Day if you are European. In the U.S., we celebrate this Pennsylvania Dutch tradition which was made famous in the popular Bill Murray movie "Groundhog Day". In fact, after two years of Covid, Groundhog Day feels familiar since we seem stuck in the same scenes over and over again.
It's also tradition (oh those French) to eat crepes or pancakes on this day, a tradition we can certainly get into! The entire family takes a turn at making crepes/pancakes and this is how it is done:
Each family member prepares and cooks a crepe while holding a coin in hand. This is believed to assure wealth and happiness until the next Candlemas celebration. Another tradition involves taking turns to flip the pancake with a flick of the wrist, deftly maneuvering the pan with the right hand while holding a coin in the left. The crepe must not fall, stick to the ceiling, or come back down in shreds. Achieving this feat successfully will bring happiness.
Good luck! We'd rather go to Heidi's Family Restaurant Carson City in Carson City and let them serve us some of their great crepes/pancakes/waffle and eat them with coins in our hands for good luck then passing them to our server for their good luck.
Guess where we are having crepes/pancakes or waffles tomorrow!
And, don't worry if this rodent predicts another six weeks of winter!

BE SURE TO ATTEND THIS GREAT FREE CONCERT!

THE CHAMBER SPONSORS THE USAF MOBILITY BAND TO KICK-OFF 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND

Be sure to mark you calendars to attend this FREE EVENT. Bring your own comfortable seating.

It’ll be a rockin’ good time on McFadden Plaza the evening of Saturday, July 3rd as the USAF Mobility Band of six full time active duty Air Force musicians perform on the McFadden Plaza stage beginning around 5:30 pm.

The talented members are part of the much larger United State Air Force Band of the Golden West that has performed in Carson City a number of times. They have shared the stage with entertainers such as Kid Rock, Daughtry, and Brad Paisley.

The band is a high-energy pop and rock band stationed at Travis Air Force Base just outside of Sacramento. According to Senior Airman Michael Roe, “Our set for this tour is very country-heavy with some rock and pop sprinkled in for variety.” Featured, too, will be some classic patriotic tunes that, according to Roe, “will be a great fit for the 4th of July.” As with all USAF concerts, veterans will be honored with service songs and are encouraged to attend.

The family event is brought to you by the Carson City Chamber of Commerce as a community service and to kick-off the 4th of July holiday in high gear since we were unable to enjoy this patriotic celebration last year.

If you plan to attend, please bring your own chairs or enjoy watching from a front row seat at The Fox Brewpub or Piazza as you enjoy dinner and drinks while watching this high-energy professional performance. Be sure to make a reservation!

Ghosts in Carson City? You'd better believe it!

There are quite a few ghosts in Carson City ready to tell their tales of yore when they worked, played and lived in some of the houses still remaining in historic downtown. Pictured on the flyer is the former home of Orion Clemens who opened his home to his brother Samuel - later known as Mark Twain. Hear the stories of the kids who once lived at the Bliss Mansion and so much more by great storyteller Mary Bennett who may or may not be a ghost herself. Many of the ghosts you will meet are buried in Carson's Lone Mountain Cemetery - or are they? Join in on this fun and historic tour of the historic downtown. Details on the flyer below.

Sharing some good news re new mask policy: The Governor's Directive 45 states Nevada will be following the CDC guidelines allowing those who have been vaccinated to enjoy the freedom of being maskless thereby returning to "normal life."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), if you are fully vaccinated, you don't need to wear masks indoors or outside, and you don't need to maintain physical distance.

"The science is clear: if you are fully vaccinated, you are protected, and you can start doing the things that you stopped doing because of the pandemic," CDC said.

"Anyone who is fully vaccinated, can participate in indoor and outdoor activities, large or small, without wearing a mask or physical distancing," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said during a White House briefing. "If you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing the things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic. We have all longed for this moment, when we can get back to some sense of normalcy."

The Governor will be issuing further information later today.
