Logan and his team will be traveling through NV. They saw our events and how much fun we're having in Pioche. They contacted us to see if they could set up a show here. Together we felt it was important to not only have a concert, but show our appreciation to the people who keep us safe while we do the things we love.
This benefit concert is able to happen with the help of Logan and his team, 80 Entertainment, and Lincoln County Fire District. If you're interested in being a sponsor for this benefit concert, please reach out to Angela with 80 Entertainment.
Thank you for your continued support!!

EMERGENCY PLANS

LC Emergency Management has coordinated with all the fire Chiefs in the county for the upcoming power outage.

If the need arises, the fire dept in alamo, panaca and pioche have agreed to open their fire stations for emergency use of power during the scheduled power outage tomorrow night Oct. 19th from 10pm to 4am. (Each station has a back up generator)

We have a diverse community with many people who rely on oxygen concentrators and other medical devices that need power to operate.

We do not have the resources to deliver a generator to every residence that may need power. And we strongly encourage our community to pre-plan and prepare for emergencies of all types.

In the event that you or someone you know will need emergency power during this event. Please contact your local fire chief and coordinate the use of one of the fire dept facilities.

Fire Chiefs:
Alamo - Steve Meldrum
Panaca - kade Lee
Pioche - John stever
Caliente - George Rowe
Lincoln county - Eric Holt

In an emergency please call 911
We will have an ambulance fully staffed during this event.

Please help family and friends who are on oxygen or cpap machines prepare in advance for this planned power outage.
