Upcoming Events and Area Happenings
Turn this Friday the 13th into your lucky day. It will be the only opportunity this year to sharpen your mojo for the three magic Friday the 13’s coming up in 2026.
Explore the sport of darts at our VFW Post 10054 on Fridays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. They have sessions for adult players on those evenings at 7:30 p.m., and a youth darts session at noon on Sundays. Start the game with either 501 or 301 points. Throw three darts each round to subtract earned points from your score. The winner is the first to reach zero points.
Father’s Day is this Sunday. Spark your imagination and creativity while pondering a few of the following ideas, ranging from firing up the grill, to arranging for him to race a car around the track. Consider knocking a task off his lengthy to-do list, shooting a game of pool, or creating a scavenger hunt leading him to a surprise. You could also let him introduce you to pickleball, hit the golf course, or arrange a family video game tournament. My dad was a Wii Bowling legend—and we were both delighted when he would coach me.
The Pahrump Community Library reopens Monday, and they’ve planned an extravaganza for the whole family from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Celebrate with free face-painting for kids, goodie bags while supplies last, and light refreshments, “because what’s a reopening without snacks?” Stop by and reconnect with your library. They can’t wait to welcome you back!
Water Aerobics classes have begun at the Pahrump Community Pool and will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. - 9:45 a.m. Burn some belly fat in the pool!
The Nevada Silver Tappers and Ms. Senior Golden Years glam gals invite the entire Pahrump community to join them as they host the 100th birthday celebration for our dazzling BJ Hetrick-Irwin on Thursday at the Calvada Eye from 10 a.m. to noon.
