Nevada Day is coming. Here’s how to celebrate

Nevada became the 36th state in the United States on October 31, 1864. It’s an accomplishment worthy of celebration, commemorated in cities throughout the Silver State, on the last Friday of October every year. 
Parades. Train Rides. Chilli Cookoffs. Drilling contests. These are just some of the many ways our great state celebrates its big day. From educational events to marching bands, there’s plenty to do and see on Nevada Day and all weekend long.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in Nevada by Supporting a Latino-Owned Business Near You

Nevada is celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month through Oct. 15 so it’s the ideal time to start supporting local Latino-owned businesses – and a practice worth continuing year-round. Business is booming for Latinos and Latinas in both Southern and Northern Nevada with Hispanic Americans owning nearly 20 percent of the state’s businesses.
