What Events Are Planned This Week in Pahrump

Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One! School’s out! Summer break for Nye County Schools begins this Thursday, when that final bell rings. Have an astonishingly amazing summer, kids.

Give the students a break from studying for finals to lob a few precision softballs at the dunk tank target at Romero’s on Saturday afternoon. You never know who might be seated on the precarious bench. Sheriff McGill, perhaps? The “Tip-A-Cop” fundraising event starring the Nye County Sheriff’s Office will be held at Romero’s from 4 to 7 p.m. Tip the deputy servers while you dine-in and they’ll donate their tips directly to Special Olympics Nevada. Additional entertainment in the form of raffles and games will also be conducted, plus several chances to win prizes throughout the event. Romero’s is located at 290 Humahuaca St.

Scarf some pancakes and syrup at the EAA Chapter 1160 Pancake Breakfast and Raffle on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the airport, located at 1061 Interceptor. During this event, they will be selling raffle tickets for $10 each. The grand prizes are two guns. The drawing will be held on May 16 at 10:15 a.m.; winners do not need to be present to win. We all need to be present to support EAA so that they can continue to bolster youth aviation aspirations.

Think you’ve got the best tattoo? Enter the Best Tattoo contest at the “Bikes, Brews & Rescues” gathering and fundraiser for Dawg House Rescuers.
