Thanks for a successful High Desert Chorale concert

The Pahrump Arts Council’s High Desert Chorale presented its annual free winter concert on December 11th in the event center at the Pahrump Nugget. An enthusiastic audience of more than 130 enjoyed classical and popular music of the Christmas season, bringing with them donations of food that were presented to the Methodist Church food bank. It was a night made more festive by the donation of punch and cookies by the Pahrump Nugget.

For many years, the Pahrump Nugget and Jeremy Jensen have been generous in their support of the Pahrump Arts Council as we bring the arts to our community. With space for events at a premium in Pahrump, we appreciate that generosity in allowing the use of their event center for Chorale concerts, the Fiber Arts Show and other events.

Thank you to Jeremy Jensen and the Pahrump Nugget staff for “making Christmas bright.” Without the dedicated volunteers of the High Desert Chorale and director, Andy Barnum, we would not have the concerts to look forward to in the spring and winter. The concert was enhanced by the sound system of Steve Lajeunesse, set up and monitored by Varian and Louise King. The PAC board of directors provided door prizes, PAC artists provided a display of artwork, and Shadow Mountain Quilters set up their gorgeous opportunity quilt for ticket sales.

Volunteers make the world go round. We thank all who helped make the winter concert a success, including all who attended to enjoy the music and support the arts.

Loretta Lindell

President, Pahrump Arts Council

If Gov. Newsom wants to facilitate reconstruction, he might also request technical help from those running states and municipalities who actually know how to encourage development rather than relying on those expert in killing it.

Basically, what they are doing is taking away what we have saved for the winter months and not compensating us for what they have taken from us.

If blue states want to stop losing residents to red states, they should adopt red state policies.
