Silver City, Nevada - Kids ages 8-12 and their parents can don goggles and learn why there's an endothermic reaction between vinegar and baking soda in a bubbling and fun activity on July 2 in Silver City. Participants will use thermometers and observe whether heat is created or extinguished. The experiment will also help them learn about Celsius and Fahrenheit.

We aren’t kitten around! The first 100 pets adopted in July are free – and come with a free medium sandwich combo. All thanks to Port of Subs of Northern Nevada.

You want a kitten? Port of Subs has you covered! An adult dog? They’ll handle that, too!

He's an easy going pup just looking for a new home to perform his tricks.
