Nyespace has organized a Makerspace Open Lab for February 8 from noon to 4 p.m. at the NyE Communities Coalition. This is a relaxed, come-and-go atmosphere that’s perfect for all ages and experience levels. Experiment with their tools and equipment, including 3D printing, laser cutting and engraving, soldering irons, sewing machines with thread and fabric, heat press, die cutter, and more. Bring your own projects and hang out to knit, crochet, paint, or scrapbook. Minors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Makerspace Coordinator Charli Bruce describes Makerspace as “a place in which people with shared interests can gather to work on projects while sharing ideas, equipment, and knowledge. It can include guided projects, or a space for you to create what you would like. It is for people of all ages.” He informs us that the group is always accepting donations of new or used supplies. Contact him at 775-293-8514 or simply leave your donation on the Nyespace/Makerspace cart in the NyECC administration office.
Jeanne Hamerly invites adults and children alike to come visit her Sundance Ranch for horse rides from 1 to 4 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday. Cost is $15 per person for a short ride, with additional cost for longer rides if time permits. It’s a great introduction to climbing up into the saddle of one of Nevada’s most beautiful, iconic animals. Has it been a decade (or two?) since you’ve picked up the reins? This opportunity is a very suitable refresher. These are calm horses, and experienced instructors. The ranch is located at 5285 Plantation St., right here in Pahrump. While you’re visiting, inquire about sunset trail rides in the desert, cowboy meals with history talk, and the riding academy.
Kickoff time for this Sunday’s matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles is 3:30 p.m. There are still tickets available on Ticketmaster and StubHub for Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, ranging from $2,867 to $11,385 each. In the event you simply cannot travel this weekend, you can catch the game at any of your favorite sports bars, including Nevada Treasure, Dry Creek Saloon, The Hubb, Terrible’s Road House, Wild Side Tavern, VFW Post #10054, Artesian Cellars, Low Side Cigar Lounge, Pahrump Nugget Sportsbook, and Mountain Springs Saloon. I don’t know about you, but their TV’s are much larger than mine.

FUTURE PLANNING
I’m not sure who needs to read this, but I have a feeling it might be you. The Pahrump Tractor Supply is inviting customers to attend a pet adoption event on Saturday, February 15 from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. “This will be a safe and comfortable space for placing adorable animals in welcoming homes,” says Mike Ostermiller, manager of the Pahrump Tractor Supply store. The event is open to the public and friendly, leashed pets. It will take place at 900 E. NV-372.
The competition will be fierce as students from grades five through 12 take to the McCullough Arena for the Pahrump Jr. High and High School Rodeo, an event that takes place as part of the Nevada State Rodeo Association’s annual circuit. The rodeo will open at 9 a.m. on Saturday, February 15 and 8 a.m. on Sunday, February 16, when contestants will vie for supremacy in an array of events ranging from goat tying and team roping to steer wrestling, bull riding, barrel racing and much more. Entry is free, but donations at the gate will be greatly appreciated. On W. Basin Ave, just west of Hwy. 160.
