This week’s local entertainment

It’s been nearly two decades since Boulder City Chamber of Commerce CEO Jill Rowland Lagan first brought up the concept of having a one-stop shop for outdoor adventures.

Last Tuesday night, hundreds turned out for the city’s annual National Night Out at Veterans Memorial Park. There, attendees were treated to law enforcement demonstrations, prize drawings, free hamburgers from In-n-Out, games for the kids and the popular BCPD vs. BCFD softball game, which the fire department won.

It’s been about three weeks since Marissa Shoop took over the helm as CEO of St. Jude’s Ranch for Children and according to her, it couldn’t have started much better.

For nearly eight decades, Grace Community Church has been the place to find that sought-after knick-knack, holiday decoration or maybe a shirt or blouse, all at a discounted price.

On the same day the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Boulder City celebrated its 35th anniversary, it received a very special gift to honor that milestone.

It’s arguably Boulder City’s biggest event of the year, drawing tens of thousands of people to town and has been doing so for more than 60 years.

For nearly a decade, Dr. Christina Vela has not only been the CEO of St. Jude’s Ranch for Children but often a pseudo-mom to many boys and girls who have call the Ranch home. This has come by way of offering a sympathetic ear, the proverbial shoulder to cry on or being their biggest cheerleader.
