The City of Fallon, The Fallon Chamber of Commerce, and Churchill County Parks & Recreation Department are proud to sponsor the July 4 extravaganza with this year’s theme celebrating Farmers, Freedom, and Fireworks.
Get your party on early with the local business window decorating contest sponsored by Fallon Glass & Sign. Decorations must follow the parade theme and be completed by June 30. There will be two $100 prizes, one for the Best Use of Theme and a Voters Choice Award. Business owners call (775) 423-2544 by June 29 to register your windows.
Pie bakers submit your entries for the Block Party Pie Bake-Off. Pie drop-off and judging will be held on Saturday, July 1 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Barrel House/Multi-Purpose Building at the 3C Event Complex, 325 Sheckler Road. For more information contact churchillcountyrecreation.org.
The fun on Tuesday, July 4, begins at 10 a.m. with a parade following its time-honored route starting on Taylor Street at the middle school, north on Taylor to A Street, east to Ada Street, south to Williams Avenue, east to Maine Street, and south to the middle school. Entries for floats will be accepted online at biy.ly/fallonparade2023 through June 23.

Too hot you say, the fire department’s sprinkler truck will be on hand to cool you off and the Fallon Theatre will be showing Independence Day and John Wayne movies if want to get inside out of the sun.
