What Events Are Planned This Week in Pahrump

There is a lot to squeeze in this Father’s Day weekend. Father’s Day is Sunday, June 21, and there are so many amazing fathers here in Pahrump. Fire up the grill, hit the golf course, build a bonfire, go to a car show. Help him wash his car, go bowling, surprise him with a race car test drive, go for a hike. Each dad is one-of-a-kind; customize his day to suit (pun intended).

Attention all Pahrump Valley High School alumni: The All Classes Mixer in Pahrump at Nevada Treasure RV Resort happens this Friday from 6 to 10 p.m. Alumni will be gathering from across the country.

Whaaat? The band “Still Drunk at Sunrise” is now branding themselves as “Higher Ground.” Not to worry. Catch the same high-energy mix of country, rock, R&B, and pop that band members Troy Hope, Bill DeLoach, and David Michael Humes have always delivered as they debut “Higher Ground” this Friday at the Wild Side Tavern at 8 p.m. Says Humes, “After years of entertaining audiences as Still Drunk at Sunrise, the band is excited to announce its new name: Higher Ground. While the name has changed, fans can still expect the same high-energy mix of country, rock, R&B, and pop, delivered with the stellar harmonies and exceptional musicianship that have become the band’s trademark. Higher Ground reflects the band’s commitment to great music, broad appeal, and taking the next step in its musical journey.”
