The Pizen Switch Times

Established 2021

On March 5th, 2024 The Yerington NV Main Street Committee announced on social media: “The Yerington Main Street Committee is a group of local businesses and volunteers working towards the enhancement of Main Street, supporting events and tourism in our community. We are a 501(c)(3) organization…Our goal is to bring business to our downtown and help with improvements and upgrades that will add to our small town Main Street.”

The Yerington NV Main Street Committee started to build their legacy in March when they shared this priceless video with the community. “Check out this film of Yerington from 1937. Our goal is to bring business to our downtown and help with improvements and upgrades that will add to our small town Main Street. Let us know if you would like to help!”

In May 2024: “Today we completed the landscaping in front of the City of Yerington video sign! Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and assisted with this project. We have additional projects planned to improve our home town Main Street on the way!

Pictured are committee members (from left to right) Jerry Bryant, Nick Beaton, Scott Draper, Anna Draper, Bonnie Bobrick, Carrie Gilmore & Debbi Douglas.

Not present today are committee members Brice Boland, Joan Blake & Michael Giorgi.

Special thanks to helper and photographer extraordinaire, Steve Douglas.”
