Nevada State Archives brown bag lunch Tuesday features reading of 'Christmas in Nevada'
Author Patricia Cafferata will read from "Christmas in Nevada" on Tuesday, Dec. 11, from noon to 1 p.m. at the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records in Carson City.
The delightful and touching stories tell how Nevadans have celebrated the holiday, from 1858 to the present day. All are welcome to attend.
Some of the more unusual accounts include the story of three miners trapped underground for forty-five days during the Christmas season, Tonopah’s “Nevergreen” tree, and Reno’s Santa Pub Crawl with thousands of costumed revelers.
Whether Santa arrives on a sleigh in a mining camp in Silver Peak, Esmeralda County, or a zip line down Fremont Street, Las Vegas, Christmas in Nevada brings warm memories, excitement, and good cheer.
The Nevada State Library and Archives is located at 100 North Stewart Street, Suite 110.
