Festival Sponsor Shoutout! Walker River Disposal

Festival Sponsor Shoutout!  Walker River Disposal

The festival committee, dedicated to making each Cantaloupe Festival better than the last, says it could only put on such an outstanding event with the help and generosity of its many sponsors.

Sponsors like CC Communications, New Millennium, Nevada State Bank, Edison Electric, Stockman’s Casino, Big R, and others are as crucial to the festival as the event-goers, vendors, attractions, and their many volunteers. 

This week’s special shoutout goes to Walker River Disposal. According to festival executive director Adrienne Snow, the local waste and disposal company is essential for a smooth-running production. While most of us might not consider the crucial need for fast and efficient waste management and removal, it’s a vital component of an event that expects to host over 20,000 attendees and spans several days. 

According to Snow, Walker River Disposal does “the heavy lifting” but also offers this service as a contribution to the festival. Fallon is extraordinarily fortunate to have fantastic businesses, like Walker Lake Disposal, that strive to serve the community.

Walker Lake Disposal offers efficient, cost-effective waste solutions for construction, demolition, industry, mining, and agriculture. It serves both commercial and residential customers. Visit it at www.walkerlakedisposal.com.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
