With the grand turnout the opera house received from the performance at the be-ginning of this month, Les Derkovitz is getting ready for an even bigger show.
?If you loved Melanie, you?ll really love Juni,? Derkovitz said. Derkovitz, after just recently purchasing some sound equipment for the opera house, said, ?It?s like Christmas-time in August.?
Juni Fisher will appear at the Thompson Opera House next Saturday evening during the weekend Labor Day celebration in Pioche. Fisher is an angler, avid horsewoman, and her most recent awards include the 2014 Western Writers of America spur award for best song, 2013 Western Music Association?s song of the year, the 2012 NRCHA Celebrity Cow Horse challenge champion and the 2012 True West Magazine?s Best Solo Performer, as well as the 2011 WMA Entertainer of the Year.
Fisher was born and raised in California, earned numerous 4H and FFA honors in high school, and is said to have ?rode her way through college,? from her website, junifisher.com. She will be arriving after her California performance Aug. 23, for the Labor Day celebration, and returns for a cutting show in California Sept. 6. She has traveled to Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho, Tennessee, Georgia, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Arizona and parts of Nevada for her performances, even performing for the Piper Opera House in Virginia City this summer.
Tickets are sold early for $15. Tickets will be available at the door of the Opera House the day of the performance for $18. For early seats, call Les Derkovitz, 775-962-5426, or at Tillie?s Mini Mart.
