What Events Are Happening This Week in Pahrump

The 56th Annual Amargosa Days Festival will be running Friday, April 25 through Saturday, April 26. Wild Horse Band performs both days, and the World’s Shortest Parade happens Saturday at 9 a.m. The car show on Saturday requires no entry form or fee—just show off your ride on the ball field next to the park from noon to 5:30 p.m. There will be plenty of events including the NCSO K-9 Show, a gun raffle, kids’ games, mechanical bull, bounce house, a mud bog, and a horseshoe tournament.

For those who feel impelled to stay in the Valley, check out the car show at Lakeview Executive Golf Course on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pop in and make your mark at the Community Mural Celebration at NyeCC’s NyeSpace Saturday morning, too.

Saturday has the potential to be filled with laughs, with the Desert Hats Improv show at Black Cow Coffee House from 5 to 6 p.m., then the free comedy show at Wildside Tavern beginning at 8 p.m.

Take some time for you this upcoming week. Paint a straw hat while relaxing with a glass of wine at the Wine Down on Monday from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., and master your smartphone while relaxing with a glass of wine at Artesian Cellars on Tuesday at 1 p.m. I’m seeing a pattern here.
