The day you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived. The new Mesquite Library is celebrating today with the Grand Opening ceremonies. Activities are scheduled all day long at the new main building and other various locations. The library Flag rising will take place at 9:55 a.m. with accompaniment by the Virgin Valley High School Band and the rest of the opening ceremony kicks off at 10 a.m.
Check the calendar because the Mesquite Library Programs are back in full swing and they will be taking place once again at the main branch.
The old library space has been converted for use by Workforce Connections where you will truly have a one stop space for all your employment/training needs, check them out.
Join three top comedians, Kathleen Dunbar, Richard Weiss and Repo Lakey as they come together for a fun Friday night full of laughter when the CasaBlanca Resort presents The Comedy Machine.
On Saturday night, the Casapoolooza Concert Series begins with free poolside performances all summer long. Based out of Southern California, Fan Halen will set the stage for a night with Dave, Eddie, Alex and Michael with a true-to-life tribute to the band, making you feel like its 1984 all over again.
Remember to send all of your events to terin.bbm@gmail.com so we can let the whole community know what’s going on this summer; remember to put ‘community calendar’ in the subject line.
