This year Sheriff's Office won by gathering 7,260 pounds of food. The total amount of food gathered this year was 24,040 pounds of food which was donated last Sunday to the Out of Egypt food pantry. The total amount of food donated by the Churchill County Sheriff, the Fallon Police Department, the Fallon Tribe Police Department, Nevada Highway Patrol, Churchill County Search and Rescue, the Fallon/Churchill Fire Department, and the Banner Churchill EMS, since 2016 is 122,788 pounds of food to help those in need during the holidays.

I honestly can’t believe you are gone…..you were a wonderful human being, with a HUGE heart and soul. Hearing this makes my heart break! You are forever in our hearts, and I can say I feel blessed that I was able to know you!

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
