Hello M.C.,

Happy Nevada Day! Yes, as a shamelessly proud native, I am a bit of a stickler for the detail that October 31 is technically Nevada's birthday. It was celebrated as such until the observation date was changed twenty three years ago.

In 2000 the Nevada Legislature designated celebration of the holiday to take place on the last Friday in October, hoping a three-day weekend would generate more interest. Judging by the crowds this last Saturday, I'd call that a roaring success.

Celebrations like this one remain a slice of pure Americana that is grounded in the uniqueness of place. From the hours-long parade to the chili cook-off and beard contests; to the world championship single jack drilling competition; Nevada Day celebration will forever be one of my favorite days of the year.

If you live in (certainly northern) Nevada and haven't ever been, I may posit that you have yet to earn status as a true citizen of the silver state. Mark your calendar now for October 26, 2024. You won't regret it!

I have some thoughts about why hometown parades like this one still matter, click the link below to read the latest blog post.

Cheers!
