Staff Report

The Genoa Sesquicentennial Committee has scheduled the second spring concert featuring the Carson Valley Pops Orchestra. The event will take place at 4 p.m. March 25 in the newly redecorated C.V.I.C. Hall at Minden, where the orchestra practices weekly.

Admission is $5 per person or $10 for a family. Proceeds will go toward funding the orchestra and the grand 150th anniversary celebration of the establishment of Mormon Station, which led to the settlement of Nevada.
