Did you know Holloween Weekend is a state holiday in Nevada?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Nevada Day commemorates the admission of the state of Nevada into the union on October 31. The first known observance of Nevada Day (originally known as "Admission Day") was by the Pacific Coast Pioneer society during the 1870s. It was not until 1933 that the state legislature designated October 31st as Nevada Day and a state holiday.

In 2003, the legislature decided to celebrate the holiday on a Friday hoping that a three day weekend would generate more interest in this celebration. Nevada Day is now celebrated on the last Friday of October.

In 2006 the legal holiday for Nevada Day is October 27.

Most of the big events are in Carson City. The parade is today! Still time to get there. :)

Ooops just noticed the OP listed the website as well. Sorry for the dupe.
