A couple events coming up in southern Nevada, sharing our Basque culture and watching the Picon documentary that Mark Maynard made.
📣 Have you ever had a Picon Punch? Curious about the story of Nevada's new official state drink?
🎞️Join Nevada Humanities next week in southern Nevada for screenings of "Piconland," a documentary about Nevada's new official state drink and its connections to our state's Basque heritage and traditions. Afterwards, we'll be treated to conversations with Piconland director and writer Mark Maynard and panelists Joe Cannella (Ferino Distillery) and Brad McMullen (Nevada Arts Council).
🎟️🔗 These programs will take place on Wednesday, July 29, from 5:30 to 7:00 pm at West Las Vegas Library and on Thursday, July 30, from 5:30 to 7:00 pm at Boulder City Library.
