Nevada Day will continue planning 2020's festivities as scheduled
Nevada Day announced that 2020’s Nevada Day is scheduled to go on as planned, something all Nevadans can cheer for.
Their announcement is as follows:
During these uncertain and challenging times the Nevada Day Committee hopes everyone remains safe and healthy.
Although we have seen way too many wonderful annual events being cancelled or postponed this year, we at Nevada Day are still moving forward planning this year’s Parade and related events.
We are hopeful that current restrictions will be lifted or at least relaxed enough to allow larger social gatherings.
As Parade Applications become available June 1, we must plan for the best, but unfortunately the worst as well. We will be accepting applications for parade entries and vendor booths to be reserved on a first come first served basis. if the event has to be cancelled we will be offering three options for our applicants: A full refund, fees applied to the 2021 parade, or donating all or a portion to our Nevada Day Inc., a non-profit 501c3.
This also applies to our many generous sponsors for which without them this treasured event would not be possible. Funding is always a challenge for us, as it is for most nonprofits, making it even more difficult to see their main, or only, fundraising events being canceled.
Besides some funding set aside but the City of Carson, most Nevada Day Inc. funds come from sponsorships, entry fees, vendors and merchandise.
Speaking of merchandise, unfortunately the Nevada Day Store inside the Visitor’s Center had to close. We are hoping to reopen again in June.
We will keep everyone updated as developments arise.
We will do our very best to preserve this historic 156 year old tradition, so please join us, we cannot do it without tremendous support from our Community, Neighbors and all fellow Nevadans. Thank you!
