Fallon residents gathered July 4 for a full day of Independence Day festivities honoring the nation’s 250th anniversary. 

 

Hosted by the City of Fallon in partnership with the Fallon Chamber of Commerce, Churchill Arts Council and Churchill County Parks and Recreation, the celebration included the Fourth of July Parade, Party in the Park at Oats Park and the annual fireworks display at Rattlesnake Hill. This year’s parade carried the theme “Celebrating America250 & Our Military,” recognizing the nation’s semi quincentennial and the service of military members who have contributed to the country and the Fallon community. 

Following the parade, families gathered at Oats Park to enjoy live entertainment, free activities, complimentary hot dogs and access to the city’s splash pad and pool. The festivities concluded with the traditional nighttime fireworks show. The parade also recognized outstanding entries in several categories. 

Award winners included: 

• Best Youth Group: Veritas Preparatory School

• Best Business Entry: Kent’s Supply Center

• Best Mounted Group: Rosa’s Performance Horses

• Best Agriculture Entry: Nevada Farm Bureau

Mayor Ken Tedford said the America250 celebration provided an opportunity to reflect on the nation’s history while celebrating the traditions and community spirit that make Fallon a special place to call home.

A little disappointed in the parade and fireworks. With it being America's 250th Birthday, there should have been some more history, as in pioneers walking behind wagons.....etc. And as for fireworks, should have been more spectacular, like seeing hearts, and smiling faces and an American flag all dine in fire works.

Comment author: Jeff goings Comment text: September 11, article Civics 101 I would like to commend Rachael Dahl and the Fallon post for their article. Civics 101. This is a reminder that we as citizens live in a representative form of government and why it is so important that we vote as voting is our way of making our voice heard.

When we bought our land in Kingston, Sis regaled us with her stories of gatherings at the old restaurant & bar on the way to Groves lake. Sis often said, 'What happens in Kingston stays in Kingston!' Fun & funny lady. Comment publication date: 9/8/26, 5:58 PM Comment source: Marilyn J. “Sis” Banovich Comment author: Ruth Fiege Comment text: So sorry for the pain your family is suffering. She is in comfort of Jesus arms. This is Ruth Fiege, Gary's cousin from WI. I can't begin to imagine the pain your family is suffering. So much comfort in knowing she and baby are with Jesus. God Bless you all during this tragedy.
