It's that time of year again, and while the heat might be sweltering, the focus should be on the upcoming annual Cantaloupe Festival and County Fair. Held on the last weekend of August, this event has gained recognition as Nevada's premier agricultural festival and promises to be as exciting as ever. Here's a preview of a couple of the upcoming events:

The Birdman - World Class Bird Show offers a unique and educational wildlife entertainment experience. Since 1982, they have been dedicated to connecting people with the amazing world of animals, with a particular emphasis on birds. The Birdman has presented in all 50 states and five countries, reaching an audience of over one billion people through international television appearances. By utilizing the latest positive reinforcement techniques, they empower animals through training, resulting in educational and entertaining presentations while fostering deep bonds between the trainers and their trainees. 
The Birdman's non-industrial approach to animal training allows them to overcome challenges that larger shows may face. Their expertise extends to working with mega-resorts, magic shows, and large-scale film productions, enabling them to quickly design, transport, set up, and perform high-quality flighted bird shows even in smaller venues like the Cantaloupe Festival.
Stay posted for details about the Ned LeDoux performance, scheduled for Saturday night, August 26, at 8 p.m. Make sure to keep an eye out for the Cantaloupe Festival Program guide in The Fallon Post, available on Thursday, August 24.

Formed in 1982, Queensrÿche is an iconic American heavy metal band that has released over 16 albums and sold over 20 million copies worldwide. While they were once compared to Queen, they have established themselves as long-standing performers. 
Their fanbase includes followers of Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Judas Priest, and Def Leppard. With 11 gold and platinum plaques and a repertoire of hard rock anthems, Queensrÿche has become an integral part of the heavy metal genre. They describe themselves as experiencing a jaw-dropping creative resurgence and recently released their latest album, “Digital Noise Alliance,” in 2022. 
Queensrÿche will be taking the stage on Friday evening, August 25, with doors opening at 5 p.m. and the concert starting at 6 p.m.

Comment author: EvaComment text: Grandpa, I find myself wondering about you every so often. I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking. Period.Comment publication date: 3/26/26, 10:38 AMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Charlene B JohnsonComment text: This post was released without letting the next of kin or family know first. I am Kelly’s sister, Charlene B Johnson and his daughter is Trisha Benjamin. The Fallon Tribal Police acted unconscionably by not notifying the family first. This is devastating for us especially after speaking a little bit with the officer handling the report and The Chief Juarez. Who refused to give me any further details or to at least let me know the FBI was notified and that they were investigating if my brothers death was foul play or not. My understanding is the FBI is called when a body is found. Tribal Chairwoman please do the family a solid and make sure the finding of my brother was due to suspicious circumstances.Comment publication date: 3/24/26, 1:55 PMComment source: Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe Reports Death Under InvestigationComment author: Nicole GalbraithComment text: Farren - I just saw that you aren’t here with us. I am completely in shock! I met you and hung out with you so many years ago with Jer, and Eden. 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! Rest easy sweet Farren xoxoComment publication date: 3/23/26, 12:30 PMComment source: Obituary- Farren Crossland
