What Events Are Happening This Week in Pahrump

Okay, Pahrump. Listen up. You’re going to need a playbook of strategic offense/defense plays to make it through this week. Dominate by studying the line-up below. Snap with a good steak dinner Friday at the VFW, then drop back with two or three live bands at your choice of winery or tavern.

On Saturday, catch as many of your choices as you can: fundraiser yard sale at the Calvada Airpark, MakerSpace Open Lab, cornhole tournament at Petrack Park, painting at the Senior Center. Don’t forget to cut to the e-Waste recycle event at the library. Pass the ball only when necessary.

Drive with the Octoberfest at Our Lady of the Valley, then make an end run to live entertainment Saturday night. Explode with the donation dinner at the Moose Lodge Sunday. Score throughout the week with completed touchdowns at a morning walk with Pahrump 55+, TV Trivia, choir practice, and bingo. The crowd goes wild!

What’s that, Jacob Powers? I should keep my day job? Fine.

Off-road enthusiasts of all kinds from all over Nevada and four surrounding states will be in town participating in a parade of lights Friday evening starting at Ian Deutch Park and winding up at the headquarters of events: Petrack Park. This is in preparation for a 75-mile poker run Saturday. Consult https://www.spookypokerrun.com/ for vehicle registration and event details.

All of us in the Pahrump community are welcome to enjoy Trunk or Treat on Friday in Petrack Park, alongside the off-road vehicle families. There will be a costume contest for kids aged 0 to 18, with awards in three separate age categories. The Pahrump Holiday Task Force is serving a hearty pancake breakfast for everyone beginning at 6 a.m. on Saturday. Dry camping is available for all of us the entire weekend, and there will be live music, vendors, food trucks, and games both nights. Friday and Saturday feature Spooktacular fun for all families including a hay maze and the famous P.D.O.P. riding bull.
