What Events Are Planned in Pahrump This Week

Pahrump delivers another jam-packed schedule to keep your extended Labor Day weekend swirling with activity. You do work hard all year (and you have been melting all summer). These next several days are all yours to celebrate your work ethic with socialization, enrichment, great live bands, and insanely loud fireworks. Live it up!

It’s truly not Labor Day weekend in Pahrump without fireworks. The Pahrump Fireworks Safety Site will be open Labor Day weekend nightly from the 4th through the 7th, 7 to 11 p.m., weather permitting. Valid fireworks passes are required for entrance; passes can be purchased in advance at any firework company within Nye County for a $5 fee. No more than five (5) participants at each of the stations; all participants must be 18 years or older. The Fireworks Safety Site, located at 3770 Fox Avenue (corner of Fox Avenue and Gamebird Road), is owned and operated by the town of Pahrump. For additional information please call 775-727-2825.

Have you attended “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” as of yet? This community theater production stars Nate Hollis as Dr. Horrible, Mallory Barger as his nemesis Captain Hammer, and Morningstarr Vella as “their charitable shared love interest.” The show dates have been extended into the Labor Day weekend. Consult pahrumptheatre.org to determine your ideal day (Fri/Sat/Sun), and secure advance tickets. Tickets are $15 for adults, with discounts for seniors, veterans, and children. Calvada Theater, 1266 E. Calvada Blvd., Suite #1.

The Nye County S x S September meet-up is on Saturday night from 6 to 9 p.m. at Dry Creek Saloon, 1330 E. Fifth Street. This meet-up is simply a social gathering; however, an optional night ride might be in the making. Come and learn where that ride goes. More info is available at www.nyecountysxs.com

You will need to make a choice Friday evening: attend the First Friday Fundraiser at Artesian Cellars, and mingle with the members of Ms. Senior Golden Years, or challenge opposing trivia teams with your own brainiac bunch to win the cash prize at Lakeview Golf Course. Curious about what’s behind the proverbial door #3? Read the Friday schedule below for more options (including steak, classic cars, a talented vocalist, fireworks, Calvada Theater, or one of Pahrump’s newest popular rock bands).

Saturday dawns with opportunity at Home Depot (wait - don’t most Saturdays begin there?). There is a Kids Workshop monthly craft project scheduled at 9 a.m. The day keeps going with a dart tournament at noon at the Lakeview Golf Course Clubhouse. By Saturday evening, you’ll need to decide again: side-by-side community fun, jazz and blues, Waylon and Willie, fireworks, theater, or good old rock and roll.

Restore your energy Sunday with a hearty breakfast at the VFW Local 10054, express yourself at the Elks Lodge at noon, and kick back with your signature brand of relaxation Sunday night with the options listed below. Don’t worry. You can sleep in on Monday. The fireworks don’t start blasting until 7 p.m.
