The town of Imlay marked Father’s Day with a festive community parade and heartfelt celebration at the local park, highlighting the growing sense of unity and pride in the small but mighty community.
The event drew residents and supporters from throughout the area, all eager to honor fathers, show off hometown spirit, and enjoy the park that’s becoming the heart of Imlay. Organizers praised the turnout and energy, noting how meaningful it was to see neighbors gathered in celebration.
“The parade was fantastic, but the real joy was seeing the park filled with people,” said one local organizer. “It’s come such a long way, and there’s more to come.”
Parade Honors Community and Creativity
The parade lineup reflected Imlay’s character—part pride, part creativity, and all community. Leading the procession was the Lovelock Sheriff's Office, followed by:
- Joanie Hayes in her yellow Corvette, representing Little Nevada Enterprise
- James Hayes in a sleek black Corvette
- Jamie StPierre in a side-by-side, joined by Jason StPierre, Toby Chapai, and Chris StPierre
- Junior Lacy and his custom-built Rat Rod
- Kim M. Lacy and Johnathon Delavega, representing Disorderly Mobile Repair and Restoration
- Ashley Queen in her festive Summertime Girls van
- Richard, showcasing his mining setup
- Annie Nevada Lacy, representing the Imlay Volunteer Fire Department
The event was organized by Alicia Craig and Terry McClanahan-Sherbinow, who were thanked for their effort in bringing the community together. The Imlay Volunteer Fire Department and the Imlay Baptist Church generously donated food, helping make the celebration even more special.
The newly revitalized Imlay park took center stage during the event, showing off the improvements already made and hinting at more to come. Organizers noted that they are currently working to secure a donated basketball hoop and a much-needed shade structure to support year-round use.
Thanks to Big R of Winnemucca, the park also recently received two trees, symbolic of the growing roots of the Imlay community. The town is currently awaiting final connection to the county water system to support continued landscaping and future upgrades.
Special thanks were extended to GameTime, which not only donated and installed playground equipment but also went the extra mile when gravel delays slowed progress. Their commitment helped make the celebration possible.
“We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has pitched in,” said Craig. “This isn’t just about the park, it’s about building something together.”
