What Events Are Happening This Week in Pahrump

The kids are back in school, and family routines have settled into the productive routine of learning and earning. There’s still enough mercury in the outdoor thermometer to suggest a refreshing dip in the Pahrump Community Swimming Pool any afternoon of the week. This is our town’s public 6-lane, 25-yard outdoor pool, providing a venue for swimmers of all ages. And gasp! With Labor Day right around the corner, it’s not going to be open forever.
