Boulder City Hospital’s 55th annual Art in the Park fundraiser takes place this weekend and brings with it the chance for residents to have a good time, as well as raising money for the nonprofit organization.

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 7 and 8,. Art in the Park is the hospital’s largest fundraiser of the year and takes place downtown in Wilbur, Bicentennial, North Escalante and South Escalante parks.

Event coordinator Wendy Adams described the fundraiser as a “cultural experience for the entire community,” and she said that this year’s fundraiser features more than 330 artists, showcasing fine art, fine crafts and traditional craft items.

Los Angeles-based sculptor Charles Sherman has participated in Art in the Park numerous times and showcases his sculptures and jewelry designs based on them.

“I’m a part of it because … it’s one of the best shows in the Southwest. … It’s also a charity event, so it’s good for the hospital, and it’s good for the people who visit,” he said.

There will also be live musical entertainment both days, with a different artist each hour, as well as 18 food trucks and vendors and art classes for the children. Admission is free.

“Everyone is welcome!” Adams said.

Adams added that SOS Radio, a contemporary Christian music station in Las Vegas, has partnered with Operation Christmas Child and will be there, giving kids the opportunity to make a bracelet for themselves and one for a needy child.

Don’t fall for scams
By BCPD Chief Tim Shea

Phone and text scams cost people across the country millions of dollars a year. Phone fraudsters use the threat of arrest warrants, the promise of romance and even disasters to con unsuspecting people aout of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars. These thieves often target senior citizens, because the scam artists know that most seniors will be polite and trusting. Many of these crimes are perpetrated outside the jurisdiction where the crime occurred, making them tough to investigate.
