What Events Are Happening This Week in Pahrump

The 8th Annual Veterans Extravaganza, a veteran information and benefits outlet with 40+ vendors, is set for Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bob Ruud Center. Representatives from the Pahrump VA Clinic will be there, along with reps from Vets Helping Vets, Suicide Prevention, VA Benefit Hospital, Sassy Trainer, DAV Auxiliary Unit 15, VASHNS, Alpha Stim, NV State Welfare, VETrans, and Quilts of Valor. Event organizers remind us that “Veterans signed a ‘blank check’ by their willingness to sacrifice their lives in order to serve our nation. This is our way of ensuring that they have the opportunity to learn about and receive benefits that they have already earned.” There will be free raffles, and a free lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Certified service animals are welcome. The Bob Ruud Center is located at the intersection of Hwy. 160 and Basin.

Now here’s a fundraising opportunity with a twist (and a toproll and a pin). Dry Creek Saloon invites the men with the strongest arms in Pahrump to an arm-wrestling competition and fundraising for a Local Charity Challenge. Arm-wrestling contest at Dry Creek Saloon begins at 9 p.m. this Saturday, March 8. Sign up in person or by calling 775-505-5161 by Friday, March 7. Wrestlers pay a $5 entry fee, and the winner collects all. According to the Dry Creek Facebook page, “If the winner donates their winnings to a local charity, Ria Jean Schumacher will match the winnings for the local charity as well!” Dry Creek Saloon is located at 1330 E. Fifth St.
