The Mesquite Fine Arts Center is featuring exhibits from the local high school students.
The gallery will be holding a reception both this evening for the Virgin Valley High School Students and the public and Saturday afternoon for the Rancho High School students.
Both receptions are free and open to the public. Stop by and see all the talent Mesquite and Rancho high school students possess.
Don’t forget to check out all the art classes offered throughout the summer. There are classes in pottery, painting, drawing, paper toile and photography.
The summer fun you’ve all been waiting for is ready to open. Join the Mesquite Chamber of Commerce for The Splash Pad’s ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday 3:30 p.m. at Hafen Park.
Check out the CasaBlanca this weekend for the Pink Floyd “Dark Side of the Moon”
Tribute Concert. “In it’s Entirety” will perform the Dark Side of the Moon album cover to cover and track by track. There will be a bonus pre-show concert of the best loved songs from the Pink Floyd catalog.
Entering its 12th year of competition, the Mesquite Amateur is one of the largest handicapped amateur tournaments in the nation.
Located in Mesquite, Nevada all seven courses provide distinct, challenging styles of desert, arroyo, vista, and canyon play.
The tournament consists of a five-day 54-hole, net, stoke play tournament. Participants compete against a field of players with a similar handicap. – See more at: http://travelnevada.com/events/events/mesquite-amateur-golf-tournament#sthash.XlRBhWfY.dpuf . (Mesquite Amateur web site)
