Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I hope your holidays are safe and full of love and  blessings.

If you’re old school like me you’ll definitely want to hit the CasaBlanca Showroom this weekend for the Eagles Tribute Concert.

The Eagles Greatest Hits will be performed live in its entirety by “The In Its Entirety Band” with special guest vocalist Lou Gazzara from American Idol.

All the Eagles hits in one place here in Mesquite!  It’s a concert you won’t want to miss.

The holiday season has begun or it will when the city officially lights up the night and the Holiday Tree on Tuesday, December 2 during the lighting ceremony which is scheduled to be held in front of City Hall at 5:30 p.m.

Join other community members and Mayor Al Litman for an hour of entertainment and holiday spirit; let’s kick off the holidays together.

Due to the holiday the garbage service for Residential Trash service (90 gallon containers) will be altered this week as follows:

Wednesday, November 26 – will remain the same (no change).
Thursday, November 27 (Thanksgiving Day) – there will be NO garbage service.

Virgin Valley Disposal will pick up your trash on Friday November 28th, please have your containers out by 6 a.m.

10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday you can find some one of a kind Christmas gifts and support your local artists when you shop at the Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery.

VVAA hosts its annual Christmas Boutique of fine gifts.  This premiere shopping event features all original, handmade items.  This is where you can find the perfect gift for that hard-to-shop-for-person in your life.

You can find all the upcoming holiday events right here in the community calendar every Thursday or online at www.mesquitelocalnews.com/category/calendar.

Send all your holiday events to tphilswife@aol.com, please put “community calendar” in the subject line or your submission may get lost in cyber space.  I’ll be happy to help you spread the word.
