Labor Day weekend, NVFCP brought the spirit of stewardship to one of Nevada’s most unique celebrations—the 2025 Pioche Labor Day Festival! Our outreach booth was buzzing with energy as we connected with festival-goers about the importance of responsible visitation and the preservation of the incredible sites that make Lincoln County so special.
From lawnmower races to street dancing and classic parades, visitors from far and wide flocked to Pioche to join the fun. We were thrilled to add to the excitement with a special NVFCP-hosted event at the historic Thompson's Opera House, where history and heritage took center stage.
A heartfelt thanks to Lois Etzel for her invaluable help throughout the weekend—your support made a big difference!
Here’s to keeping Nevada’s cultural treasures protected and appreciated for generations to come!
