What Events Are Happening This Week in Pahrump

Music Bingo Night and Karaoke happens at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church on Friday night beginning at 5 p.m. This is the church’s fundraiser for the Ed Bldg. A/C. Entry is a free-will donation, and the KJ will be Brian Moore. 650 S. Blagg. Questions? Call 775-513-5505.

Hele Mai Productions is bringing more aloha, ohana, and island culture to the desert at their “A Hui Hou” Hawaiian festival in Pahrump’s Petrack Park on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. There will be food, Hawaiian cultural learning, vendors, and Hawaiian entertainment. Visit www.helemaiproductions.com to learn more.

There are a few seats available to paint “A Fall Barn” on Saturday, November 8 from 1-4 p.m. at the Pahrump Senior Center. $25 includes all supplies and guided instruction. Bring your favorite beverage. Call, text, or message Laurie at 775-209-6200 to reserve your spot today.

Laurie is still in the process of tying up loose ends before ultimately leaving town, but the PV Times has opened communication channels with local watercolor artist, Judith Strait. Judy leads a watercolor painting class each second and fourth Monday of the month, guiding students to beautiful creations and a fulfilling hobby. She provides art supplies for a first-timer and sends her new students home with an art supply list to sustain the joy indefinitely. New students are always welcome. They are meeting in the Palm Terrace Apartments clubhouse on 421 Margaret Street (behind Desert View Hospital) from 10 a.m. until noon. New students receive special instruction where they learn how to transfer an image to paper without drawing, how watercolor works, and how to correct a mistake. Judy says, “I hope to see you in class.”

There is a vital (!) Donation Spaghetti Dinner this Sunday afternoon from 3 to 6 p.m. which benefits the Lions Club “Letters to Santa Program” striving to ascertain that all our local Pahrump kids get a visit from the man in the red suit. The dinner is being hosted by the Moose Lodge, located at 1100 Second St. There will be raffle drawings, and entertainment by the glamourous Ms. Senior Golden Years performers. Attention, Santas! Attend this spaghetti dinner wearing your extra special red suit and Santa boots to audition for the Breakfast with Santa event to be held December 6th at the Pahrump Valley Museum. You may be selected as the “guest of honor” by the Pahrump Valley Lions Club to dazzle Pahrump children with your unequaled magic kindness and spirit.

Veterans Day is Tuesday, November 11. While those who died are also remembered, Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor ALL those who served honorably in the military – in wartime or peacetime. There will be a Veterans Day service beginning at 11:11 at the VFW Post #10054, with flag retirement afterward. The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) plans a ceremony at Chief Tecopa Cemetery beginning at 3 p.m. open to the entire community. Great Clips provides free haircuts for Veterans on Tuesday during their annual Thank a Veteran event. Veterans and active military service members get a free haircut, or a voucher for a free haircut that can be redeemed during a future visit. Artesian Cellars is hosting an informative class entitled “Sip, Learn, and Master Your Smartphone” at 6 p.m. Tickets are $14 for the general public, but veterans are invited to attend for free. Nye County offices will be closed; there will be no classes for Nye County School students.

Have a fun and meaningful week!
