President Donald Trump predicted that Nevada’s battered tourism industry would “come roaring back” under his leadership, warning that the lights of Las Vegas and Reno would be extinguished under a Joe Biden presidency and that Carson City, where he rallied supporters Sunday evening, would turn into a ghost town.

The Carson City Sheriff’s Office would like to extend gratitude and many thanks to our neighboring agencies and City departments for a successful operation Sunday at the Carson City Airport. It was the collaborative efforts of responding agencies that safeguarded the community, residents and visitors.

The crowd in Carson City prepares for the arrival of President Trump. You can watch the event live-streamed via KRNV News 4 here and scroll to National Event Stream 1. You can also watch via Facebook here.

UPDATE 5:55PM: Please anticipate heavy foot traffic throughout Carson City, drive with extreme caution and watch for pedestrians. Plan your travel accordingly, as motorists and pedestrians leave the campaign rally anticipate traffic delays.

From the Famous first line of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, modified to appeal to the generosity of the Carson City community, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a (generous city) in possession of a good fortune must be in want of (helping to support a CHS teacher)."

The teachers of CHS are asking if this is still true? Of course it is. Men, women, and children of Carson City are encouraged to purchase a T-shirt to support both breast cancer awareness and CHS teacher Kelly Gustafson, who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

The Carson City Sheriff’s Office is collaborating with City departments and multiple agencies throughout the region in order to facilitate Sunday’s planned campaign rally hosted by the Carson City Airport's Cactus Air Force, located at 2600 E. College Parkway.
