Parade, Pancakes, and Politicians – A Fun Labor Day Weekend Ahead
Labor Day Parade September 2021

Author: Rachel Dahl

Beginning at 7 a.m. on Monday, September 5 in the vacant lot next to the library at 553 S. Maine St. is the annual Pancake Breakfast, hosted by the Fallon Rotary Club. All-you-can-eat pancakes, eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, coffee, and Sand Dill Dairy milk for only $10 per adult and $5 for children. The annual fundraising event is the unofficial kick-off in Fallon of the campaigning season, with statewide candidates for office attending to meet local voters. Candidates then proceed to their floats in the Lions Parade.

After breakfast, at 10 a.m. it will be time for the Fallon Lions Labor Day Parade. Entry applications will be accepted until Saturday, September 3 at noon. Anyone who needs an application can contact Barbara Hertz, at [email protected] or pick one up at the Fallon Chamber of Commerce. The parade will begin at the corner of Taylor and Virginia Streets, head north to A Street, east to Carson Street, south to Williams, wrapping up with a straight shot south on Maine back to the Middle School. There is no entry fee for the parade.

 

The Fallon Junior Rodeo will be happening all weekend, beginning with contestant check-in at 5 p.m. on Friday night, and the Queen contest at 6 p.m. The rodeo begins at 8 a.m. on Saturday and runs through Monday with everything from calf riding and pole bending to mutton busting and team roping.

Come on out and join the festivities!

One of my most favorite stories Paul told dated back to the late 60s or early 70s and it revolved around him killing a deer way out in the mountains. Naturally the deer ran down into a deep canyon and died. Knowing that it would take him forever to haul it out he devised an awesome plan. After preparing the deer he drove back to NAS Fallon and rustled up a SAR crew and they flew out and picked up the deer. Of course it was labeled as a training flight but what the hell in those days you could do that sort of thing. Rest in Peace my friend until we meet again!!Comment publication date: 4/11/24, 1:15 PMComment source: Obituary - LCDR Paul N PflimlinComment author: THughesComment text: So sad to hear.
