The 119th Annual Labor Day festivities in Pioche commenced with a lively Labor Day bingo event held at the Fire Hall on Friday, Aug. 30. The event began at 6 p.m. and drew a crowd of more than 100 enthusiastic participants. Throughout the evening, groups small and large filtered in while engaging in various bingo rounds including regular, across, picture frames and a final blackout game. Winners received a range of prizes, from DVD sets and yard umbrellas to cash and gifts from local businesses. Special rounds awarded Labor Day-themed quilts.
