ernley-Wadsworth Lions Club is pleased to present the annual Multicultural Festival June 25-26 at the Out-of-Town Park in Fernley. This year the festival features the Comstock Civil War Reenactors, belly dancers, live music by New Beginnings and Repeat Offender, and much more! This is a free event put on by the Ferney-Wadsworth Lions Club along with support from the Fernley Convention and Tourism Authority, Lyon County Room & Tax Board, and the Comfort Suites, Best Western and Super 8 hotels and motels in Fernley. The Lions Club will be offering FREE eye checkups throughout the day and will also be collecting non-perishable items to be donated to the local food pantry. Other features of this year’s festival include two bounce houses for the kids, a rock climbing wall, local artists and vendors, and concessions. The Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) will be on-site with information on senior services in the community. Also, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can have a chance to fire the civil war cannon for a small donation. There will also be a talent contest, so all of you with great talents don’t miss this chance to show them off! Enter the “I’ve Got Talent” contest on Saturday and maybe you’ll make it to the finalists’ performance on Sunday. To sign up, call Maria at (775) 575-0717 or Bobbie at (775) 575-1803 or you can sign up Saturday morning at the festival.
