Friends of the Nevada State Museum Hosts Tin Cup Roundup Barbecue Sept. 21
Calling All History Buffs! The Friends of the Nevada State Museum invites the community to celebrate Nevada's rich history and support a worthy cause at the Tin Cup Roundup Barbecue.
This fundraiser takes place on Saturday, September 21st, 2024, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Nevada Governor's Mansion (606 Mountain Street, Carson City).
Proceeds from the event will go towards the restoration of the museum's iconic 1967 Chevrolet Step-side Pickup, a historic vehicle that once played a vital role in bringing Nevada's stories to every corner of the state.
Guests can enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner, live music by Keith Alan Barnett and the Lonesome Polecat Band, and a lively atmosphere filled with dancing, raffles, and auctions. Tickets are only $75 and include two drink vouchers.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate Nevada's history while supporting a great cause," says Jim Spain, Chair of the Friends of the Nevada State Museum. "In the 1960's to 80's, the Nevada State Museum had a 42-foot trailer which served as a mobile museum. This 1967 pickup covered thousands of miles bringing artifacts and stories to Nevada’s rural residents throughout that time. It is important that we save another piece of our state’s history.”
Don't miss out on this chance to be a part of Nevada's history! Tickets for the Tin Cup Roundup Barbecue are available online at carsonnvmuseum.org or by phone at (775) 883-7647. Advance tickets are required. The deadline to purchase tickets is Friday, September 14th.
