Upcoming Events and Area Happenings

We have a new musical twosome visiting us this Friday at The Wine Down. The Status Crowes are Chuck and Michelle Crowe, the “ultimate all-request acoustic jukebox duo.” With a repertoire of more than 1,500 songs, they pride themselves on making every show unique, and gladly take requests from their audience covering pop, rock, country, R&B, oldies, or current hits. Combining their passions of travel and performing, they live the full-time-van lifestyle in “Gwenivan,” their self-built, fully customized Ford Transit. They were in Kansas, Idaho, and Montana just prior to arriving in Nevada. From here, they’ll hit the road for Arizona and California. Hey, wait! They’re living the lifestyle we intended, back when we were in our 20s. I’m so jelly.

Pahrump Community Library Youth Services has opened the 2025 Pumpkin Decorating Contest for submissions now through October 24th. Youth aged 4 to 15 are invited to be creative and show off their pumpkin-decorating skills. Design a pumpkin inspired by a favorite book character. No carving is allowed, because uncarved decorated pumpkins last such a nice, long time. Purchase your own pumpkin of any color, size, and texture. Painted and decorated pumpkins are welcome. Voting by all library patrons will be solicited from October 27 through the 30th. Pumpkin art in each age group (4-8, 9-12, 13-15) will receive a first, second, and third-place ribbon.

The model train display will be “chugging on through” the Pahrump Community Library now through Saturday. Don’t miss this intricate, extensive, detailed display proudly brought to us by the Pahrump Model Railroad Club. Library hours are Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Sunday morning from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., consider heading out to HnM Feed at Harker Ranch for Customer Appreciation Day. Black Wolf K-9 will be there with handler Andrea Phipps and her K-9, Radar, demonstrating flawless explosive detection. Children can delight in pony rides, too. Purchase a raffle ticket to win a two-person hot air balloon ride while you’re at it. Now that’s a Pahrump dog and pony show you won’t want to miss.
