■ Pahrump cheers for and supports the Pahrump Junior and High School Rodeo Club, so the Pahrump Theatre Company is hosting a fundraiser featuring Tom Bennett, a nationally touring country blues one-man band, known for his authentic folk blues style. He performs on resonator guitar, harmonica, vocals, and foot percussion – all at the same time! Tickets are $20 and can be purchased in advance at http://buytickets.at/PahrumpTheatreCompany/1925500. The show starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday, November 15. 1266 E. Calvada Blvd.

■ You’ve heard of Bunco, but what in the world is it? Bunco is a social dice game played in rounds, where teams score points by rolling dice. The game is played with 12 players, divided into teams, and is designed to be easy to learn. You’ve got this! Join your friends at Nyespace, our local makerspace, to support them. There will also be a 50/50 raffle to support the Pahrump Holiday Task Force (you know them, too—those dedicated folks who bring us free Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Fourth of July meals and parties here in Pahrump). Saturday, November 15th is the inaugural Fall Bunco Bash, hosted by Valley Electric Association at 800 E. NV 372. Tickets are $25 per person, which includes admission and Bunco play. Contact Carli Bruce to purchase your ticket at nyespace@nyecc.org or text 775-293-8514. She will direct you to the reservation website and payment options. Only 80 spaces are available, so roll your dice now.

■ The drop-off location for Operation Christmas Child will be open November 17-24 at New Hope Fellowship, 781 West Street here in Pahrump. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has been collecting and delivering gift-filled shoeboxes to children throughout the world, including many who are suffering from war, poverty, disease and disaster. Each box packed full of quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items becomes a tangible expression of God’s immense love for the child. Shoebox packing is fun for individuals, families and groups. Find a step-by step guide at https://samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/pack-a-shoe-box/ For collection days/hours, or more information, call New Hope at 775-751-1867.

■ The 26th Annual Pahrump Social Powwow is in the works for November 21 through 23 at Petrack Park. Admission is free, and the cultural experience is priceless. Marge Pesek of the Review-Journal once called this Pahrump’s largest cultural event of the year, bringing Native American tribes together for a three-day celebration of beating drummers, dancers, musicians, and crafters from tribes all over the West. This year’s theme is the celebration of youth. For more information, visit http://pahrumppowwow.com/
