What Events Are Planned This Week in Pahrump

Benjamin Franklin wrote in 1789, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Federal filing is due this Wednesday, April 15th. Sigh. Thank goodness in Pahrump, we can also count on car shows! We have two — count ‘em, two — car shows this Saturday.

Meineke Car Care is conducting a car show for all makes and models Saturday from 10 a.m. through 3 p.m. during their grand opening. Best car, best truck, and best bike will each win a $200 credit to use at Meineke. You’ve been watching their shop come alive at 680 S. Highway 160 for some time now. Welcome to our world!

But wait …

Car shows, and fundraisers. Pahrump is truly a sweeter spot in the world.

The Mount Charleston Horses Facebook group has organized a “Stop BLM Roundups” rally for Nevada’s wild horses and burros on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. According to the group, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plans a roundup between March and June, wherein 425 wild horses and 425 wild burros will be removed from the Spring Mountains. Bring sunscreen, a sign (if you have time, please make one; they will have some to share), water, and noise makers such as whistles, jars with coins, pots and pans, etc. Type “Lower Red Rock Parking Area” into your GPS; this should bring you to the exact location.
