Poker walk, art contest, live music by Still Drunk at Sunrise and Wildhorse bands, tricycle races, bed races, Halloween costume contest, downtown parade on Saturday at 10 a.m., art show, model railroad exhibit, pet parade Sunday, hula hoop contest—there is just too much family fun and entertainment to list! Consult https://www.beattynevada.org/index.html and click on the Beatty Days tab for more information and the schedule of events.
Costume contests, pumpkin patches, Trunk or Treat locations, Halloween parties, haunted houses, and more … Ready? Set? Go! to as many as time allows. Community Ambulance reminds us all that costumes should be well-fitted and flame-resistant to prevent accidents, and to always test makeup to avoid skin reactions. Carry flashlights and glowsticks for visibility, and sample all the sites organized in Pahrump for our Halloween enjoyment.
New this year: the Pahrump Theatre Company presents their haunted house experience in Petrack Park, with plenty of live scary characters and zombies. There is an admission fee of $10 per adult, $5 per child, or $30 per family. The attraction begins at 7 p.m. each evening October 31, November 1 and 2, and continues until people stop coming by.
Plan to join your favorite Trunk or Treat location if you live in an area where children do not come door to door on Halloween night. Smith’s, for example, is actively inviting anyone who wishes to participate with a decorated trunk, tent, or any creative setup to hand out candy or treats. “Bring your kids, dress up in your favorite costumes, and be ready to enjoy treats, games, and photo opportunities,” said coordinator Melissa Sharrer. She reports that several groups have already signed up to join them in their parking lot festival on October 31 from 5 to 8 p.m., including Nye County Sheriff’s Office, Paw-Rump Rehab &Rescue, Trikers and Bikers, Pahrump Care Pharmacy, Yolis Housekeeping, Let’s Glow Crazy, Gunny’s AC and Plumbing, Talk4less Cricket Wireless, Verizon, Pahrump Disability Outreach (PDOP), and the Pahrump Community Library. “This event is perfect for kids, families, and anyone who loves Halloween fun!” For more details, to RSVP, or to volunteer email pahrumptrunktreats@gmail.com.
