Celebrate Nevada’s most cherished time of the year in the safety of your own vehicle at Western Nevada College on Oct. 30 and 31. For many there will be a major void in their social calendars to fill on Nevada Day without the annual parade to attend.

Each October, Nevadans turn their attention to the state capitol, Carson City, home of the “official” Nevada Day Parade. Since 1938, the Nevada Day Parade in Carson City has been an annual coming together to celebrate Nevada’s heritage and the founding of this great state on October 31, 1864.

Gov. Steve Sisolak announced Tuesday that Nevada school buildings will remain closed through the end of the 2019-20 school year. Districts and charter schools with approved Emergency Programs of Distance Education are expected to continue to offer learning opportunities to all students through the previously scheduled end of the school year as determined by local calendars.

Most people don’t know that the calendar we use today is called the Gregorian calendar, and it's only about 500 years old. It was adapted in the 16th century. However, in the preceding 1500 years we used the Julian calendar. Both calendars are pretty close to one another, and some Orthodox churches still go by the Julian calendar. As a result, many people around the world celebrate Jan. 7 as Christmas.
