Happy (early) Nevada Day!

While the last minute touches on costumes are being done, the candy ready at the door, and apple cider mulling it gives one time to reflect on why Nevada celebrates this wonderful day. The candy and day off of work or school is an added plus, but the importance of why Nevada became a state in 1864 is the real reason for celebration. The Nevada Art Museum's exhibit on Nevada's road to statehood highlights the battleborn triumph and worth the trip downtown. Both Nevada's constitution and the emancipation proclamation are available for viewing this weekend!
There are many other fun filled Nevada Day activities this weekend, along with a few Halloween events. So, don't forget to have fun and floss your teeth after eating candy!
