The Mesquite Library’s “Charting a New Course” Career and College Fair is on Friday January 9th and open to Parents, Students, Teachers and the General Public.
There will be local, Southern Utah, and Nevada Universities, Colleges, Vocational and Technical Schools and Apprenticeship Programs, Wells Fargo and a whole host of others attending the fair.
Southern Nevada Health District will be on sight to administer immunizations to students under 19 who need them.
Light refreshments and drinks will be available courtesy of Eureka Hotel and Casino.
Door Prizes donated by Wal-Mart, Ace Hardware and Beall’s will be raffled.
For the weekend’s evening entertainment the Virgin Valley Theatre Group is opening their production of Vintage Hitchcock-A Radio Play at the Mesquite Community Theatre.
You can sit back in the seats with closed eyes and appreciate this Radio Play but don’t keep them closed too long or you’ll miss the delightful performance of the actors playing actors and reaching for the characters, voices and dialects of their multiple roles.
Join the VVTG as they launch the season’s second production and enjoy an evening full of mystery and intrigue with the The Lodger, 39 Steps and Sabotage; all Vintage Hitchcock.
Show-times are Friday and Saturday 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available at Danielle’s Chocolates, The Mesquite Chamber of Commerce, The Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery, Have Boutique Will Travel and the Mesquite Community Theatre Box Office.
Mesquite Senior ladies, 60 years or older, still have time to apply to be a contestant in the 2015 pageant.
