The Nye County Democratic Central Committee is sponsoring a bus tour with stops at graveyards and haunted sites in Nye County. It’s a Halloween fundraiser for “Democrats and folks who enjoy the spooky things in life,” according to the Nye County Dems.
Fundraising in the Graveyard will be an all-day affair. The bus departs Saturday morning, Oct. 28 from Pahrump and will have stopovers in Amargosa and Beatty before arriving in Tonopah.
Along the way, there will be plenty of entertaining trivia and games to play, with prizes to be awarded.
Once in Tonopah, patrons will devour lunch and enjoy an afternoon of raffles and even a live auction featuring a variety of items donated to the cause.
The highlight of the event, however, will be the fiendishly fun nighttime activity of touring the historic Tonopah Cemetery, which will give attendees the opportunity to try their hand at communing with the dead with the assistance of a paranormal investigator.
The Nye County Dems hope to celebrate Halloween and money to fund the group’s activities throughout the 2024 election cycle.
