PAHRUMP EVENTS | Stuff to do because you deserve to have some fun

The Pahrump Nugget turns 22 and is celebrating its anniversary on Friday with a performance from Kent N Company band.

“With his rocking vocals and hard-knock tunes, Kent Johnson performs on electric drums to stun the audience.”

Mike Muratore headlines comedy night Friday at 5280 Mexican Grub.

Stoner Rob brings comedian Mike Muratore onstage at 5280 Mexican Grub

Muratore has earned the moniker of “The Serial Killer of Comedy” with his brand of raw, in-your-face, no holds barred comedy. His act has been honed over the past 20 years, turning Mike into one of the best comedians performing today. Will you be offended? Yes.

Will you laugh? Definitely.

American Voodoo American Voodoo band plays Mountain Springs Saloon Sunday afternoon.

The band American Voodoo appears at Spring Mountain Saloon Sunday afternoon. Rock-and-roll, plain and simple. Catch Doug Bond on guitar, Ron “Shred” on bass, and Adam Fisher on drums.

Mystery, blackmail, and murder prevail for two final nights Friday and Saturday as the Trojan Theatre Department performs the play “It Was a Dark and Stormy Night” at the Pahrump Valley High School.

There’s a new group in town. Southern Nye Grange member Glenna Palmer Elrod is offering a free baking class on Saturday in her South Pahrump home, where students will explore the satisfying art of baking Artesian bread from scratch. There are only a few spaces left. Palmer Elrod told the PV Times that this local chapter is a practical social group offering support for Pahrump concerns ranging from gardening on top of poof dirt, to deciding between chicks or pullets. “Come join the fun. New members are always welcome.”

Plan to paint “A rainy evening in Paris” on Saturday, March 11 at the Pahrump Senior Center. $25 includes all supplies, templates, and expert guided instruction. C’est la vie! Is a car wash on your list of Saturday chores? The Youth Group at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church will handle that for you. They’re conducting a car wash fundraiser this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Lucky for them, the forecasts show our first high temps in the 70s in way too long. Luck? Well. Swing by and support these great youths.

Speaking of improved temperatures, consider joining the Pahrump Valley Cyclists for a Sunday morning group bike ride. They start at 8 a.m. from the Grill Room at Mountain Falls. Confirm with Wesley Jacobson on the Pahrump Valley Cyclists Facebook site. All skill and experience levels welcome. No rider will ever be left behind.
