RSVP Nevada Day celebration and carnival to celebrate Silver State's 150th birthday
For the 29th year, the Nevada Rural Counties Retired Senior Volunteer Program, Inc. will sponsor the Nevada Day Carnival at Mills Park on Oct. 30 through Nov. 2, 2014, RSVP executive director Susan Haas announced Friday.
Earlier this year RSVP went all out over July 4 with a spectacular fireworks display, synchronized to music, to mark Nevada’s Sesquicentennial. For Nevada Day weekend, visitors can expect plenty of games, thrilling carnival rides and entertainment venues.
“We will have a lot more family fun and entertainment than ever before this year,” said Haas.
Kicking off the event will be “Family Night” on Thursday, Oct. 30 from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. where all rides are just $1 each courtesy of Carson-City Toyota Scion. Advance tickets can be purchased at the dealership beginning October 3rd
On Friday, Oct. 31, Saturday, Nov. 1 and Sunday, Nov. 2 the fair opens at noon and includes carnival rides, live music from local musicians as well as food booths and opportunities for holiday shopping with great craft vendors. All day ride wristbands are $30 but visit our website below for a $5 off coupon.
Special events include a pumpkin carving contest, Halloween costumes contest for kids and adults as well as music from local bands on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Beginning Oct. 10 please visit RSVP’s website at www.nevadaruralrsvp.org for contest rules and schedule of events. There are still a few select spots available so if you’d like to perform, please call now. The deadline for musical entries is Monday, Oct. 13.
All proceeds help frail, homebound, and low-income seniors remain independent by providing high quality programs which allow them to stay in their homes with dignity.
