The Marzen House Museum will host a Nevada Trivia Night on Friday, Oct. 25, combining
history, fun, and community service. The event is a collaboration between the Pershing
Healthcare Foundation and the Mustang Youth Team, with proceeds benefiting local youth
programs.
Museum Director Bonnie Skoglie told county commissioners the foundation approached the
museum about using its historic firehouse for the event. The hospital is providing food, insurance
coverage, and portable restrooms for guests.
“We’re expecting about 40 to 50 people,” Skoglie said. “It’ll be a family-friendly evening — no
alcohol — with dinner, trivia, and some fun extras for the kids.”
The Mustang Youth Team will help entertain children while adults take part in the trivia
competition, offering face painting, pumpkin carving, and even a movie showing. The Lovelock
Volunteer Fire Department will also be on hand to give kids rides in a fire engine.
The museum board voted to waive its share of proceeds from the event and donate that portion to
the Mustang Youth Team for their help. Participants can also stay afterward for a ghost tour at
the regular $20 admission price, with a free ghost tour planned for youth team members at a later
date.
“It’s a great way to bring people together and support both the museum and our local kids,”
Skoglie said.
The event begins at 6 p.m. on Oct. 25, at the Marzen House Museum in Lovelock.
