What Events Are Happening This Week in Pahrump

This weekend promises many entertaining diversions, including a children’s paint-a-thon at Nyespace, Winter Oasis at Great Basin College, an International Food Festival at Our Lady of the Valley, and the 2024 Legends Roughstock Pro Series Finals at McCullough Arena.

Top 100 Legends riders in bareback, saddle bronc, and bull riding from all over the world will converge on McCullough Rodeo Arena Friday and Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. for the Legends Roughstock Pro Series. Riders from Australia, Canada, Brazil, the Navajo Nation and the entire United States will battle for the title of Legends World Champion. “In PRO, we are highlighting athletes 18 to 70 years of age in the three most dangerous events in rodeo: bull riding, bareback and saddle bronc,” explains Bradley Boudreau, CEO of the Legends Roughstock Series.

Also, see the Lady Legends compete for the title of World Women’s Division Champion. $12 general admission ticket or $25 VIP seat admission covers both days’ events. Athletes will be competing for $50,000 in PRO prize money, hundreds of buckles, saddles and more. Consult www.legends.rodeo to learn more. Purchase tickets at bammtickets.com.

The International Food Festival runs from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church. Sample cuisines of the world from Hungary, Germany, the Philippines, Mexico, America, and more. Table conversation could include the word-geek factoid that food from the Philippines is referred to as Filipino. Why? Because “Philippines” is an adaptation into English of Filipinas using the name Phillip as root, while “Filipino” is a literal copy of the Spanish word. Who knew?

Great Basin College is hosting Winter Oasis on Friday and Saturday from 2 to 7 p.m. each day. In addition to festive music, art, and refreshments, each evening the Gypzes of Water Rock present “Grumpus, A Holiday Dinner Show” from 4 to 6 p.m. Tickets for this dinner theater, fun, and prizes are $10 each, or 4 tickets for $35. Free events and activities include Light up the College at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, a free movie showing of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” on Saturday at 5:30, gift wrapping, ornament decorating, and card making both days.
