Veterans Day celebrations will begin with a Veterans Memorial Service at 8 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial Park located on Hillside Drive.

At 10 a.m. the Veterans Parade will begin at North Willow Street and end at Arrowhead Street on Mesquite Blvd. The parade is patriotic and the colors are of course red, white and blue.

The Grand Marshall for this year will be Pete Blair of Mesquite. After 24 years of active duty in the Army and four tours, he retired as a Lt. Colonel in 1971.

The public is invited to the 2nd Annual Harvest Festival on Nov. 7 from noon to 5 p.m. next to the Mesquite Recreation Center, 100 W. Old Mill Road. The event is presented by the Lighthouse Youth Group of Living Waters Fellowship. There will be food, bounce houses, music, prizes, lots of vendors and entertainment for the whole family.

The world-famous Vienna Boys Choir is scheduled to perform at the Virgin Valley High School in Mesquite on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. This performance is sponsored by the Greater Mesquite Arts Foundation.

Student tickets (age 10-18 with ID) are $25, General Reserved seats are $40 and Premier Reserved seats are priced at $50. Only a few tickets remain.

Virgin Valley Artists Association has added an evening drawing class to its art instruction schedule.

In addition to her continuing daytime art lessons, Bunny Wiseman now teaches beginning drawing, Tuesday evenings, 5:30-7:30pm.

Interested students do not need to bring materials to their first class. This is a “drop in” class, with no advance reservation needed. Classes are $10 per session.

You’ve got a bit of a reprieve this week as the calendar is a bit lean on weekly events. But never fear, the holidays are upon us and there’s a lot of stuff on the horizon for the month of November.

Be sure to check it carefully so you won’t miss a thing that’s happening here in Mesquite this week.  You can view the entire calendar online anytime at www.mesquitelocalnews.com.

Send all your activities to tphilswife@aol.com and please remember to put “community calendar” in the subject line so your event notice doesn’t get lost in cyber space.
