Dear Friends of Carson City,

In August of 2008 Carson City will be 150 years old. To commemorate this momentous occasion, the Carson City Sesquicentennial Committee is planning a Birthday Celebration including a chili cook off, craft fair and cutting of the Sesquicentennial Birthday Cake. The celebration is to be held in the Nugget Parking lot from Noon till 6 PM on Saturday, August 16th.

Carson City Sesquicentennial Committee is seeking donations and sponsors for the Carson City Sesquicentennial Birthday Celebration. The funds received will be used for products and services needed to produce the Birthday Celebration such as promotional items, tables, chairs, commemorative items, etc. A portion of the funds received will be set aside and all the left over funds will be given to the Nevada State Museum and the Children’s Museum of Northern Nevada. Please see the enclosed sponsorship sheet for the various sponsorship packages available to organizations, businesses and individuals.

The Carson City Sesquicentennial Committee is recognizing many events to be held throughout the summer as Official Sesquicentennial Events culminating on the weekend of August 16. The “Official Sesquicentennial Weekend” will be jam-packed full of family events including a two-day Coin Education Fair at the Nevada State Museum, the Children’s Museum of Northern Nevada’s Annual Carnival, and special events to be held at the Carson City Library, The Nevada State Railroad Museum, Brewery Arts Center Jazz Festival, and the Roberts House. The celebration will culminate with the Carson City Sesquicentennial Birthday Celebration.
