Upcoming Events and Area Happenings
Gather ’round. Here’s the plan for Saturday: to show solidarity with the Baker to Vegas relay marathon teams coming through Pahrump on their grueling 120-mile trek during the 40th Annual B2V this weekend, we’re going to lace up our running shoes and complete 7.4 miles as a great big team!
We’ll start at the Pahrump Valley Museum in time for the 9 a.m. opening of the Model Railroad Club display. Then we’ll run 1.9 miles to arrive at high noon, in time for the Pahrump Gunfighters show at Dusty Flats on Stagecoach Road. From there, we’ll jog on over to the Southern Nye County Search and Rescue BBQ booth outside the Green Valley Grocery at Hwy. 372 and S. Blagg. We’ll have two hours to do this 2.5 mile leg, so we can cheer on the B2V teams as they huff past. We get to purchase hot dogs, burgers, and essential fuels for hydration, so we can live through the 1.4-mile sprint over to Moose Lodge #808 for the spaghetti dinner fundraiser conducted from 4 to 7 p.m. in support of Pahrump senior citizens. We’ll stay the entire time, resting up, eating, enjoying the entertainment, and bidding on auction items. We don’t even need to skip dessert; we’ve been running all day. At this point, we should have no trouble traipsing the 1.6 miles to the Calvada Theater for the “Night of Jones” plays.
So there you have it! The Pahrump 7k marathon. Pack sufficient cash and cards in your fanny pack. Be a hero. We can’t all qualify to be heroes in law enforcement like the men and women running the B2V marathon, but we can be heroes who support our Pahrump volunteers, seniors, and community theater.
