SUMMARY:Mark Twain Days | Nevada State Folklorist Brad McMullen | Saturday | October 18th 2025 | FREE
DESCRIPTION:Hello! My name is Brad McMullen and I’m the new Folklife Specialist at the Nevada Arts Council. It’s my job to support the folk and traditional arts in the state of Nevada. Now normally when I introduce myself that way\, I tend to get some blank stares\, because people aren’t always familiar with what the phrases “folklife” or “folk and traditional arts” means. So rather than sit here and ramble on about my credentials or what I’m planning to do in the position\, why don’t I start by explaining some terms. \nJoin Brad and learn about folklore is\, and what it means in Nevada. \n

SUMMARY:Mark Twain Days | On the Trail of the Jackalope with Michael Branch | Saturday | October 18th 2025 | FREE
DESCRIPTION:Michael Branch – University Foundation Professor\, Emeritus\, University of Nevada\, Reno \nThe never-before-told story of the horned rabbit—the myths\, the hoaxes\, the very real scientific breakthrough it inspired—and how it became a cultural touchstone of the American West. \nJust what is a jackalope? Purported to be part jackrabbit and part antelope\, the jackalope began as a local joke concocted by two young brothers in a small Wyoming town during the Great Depression. Their creation quickly spread around the U.S.\, where it now regularly appears as innumerable forms of kitsch—wall mounts\, postcards\, keychains\, coffee mugs\, shot glasses\, and so on. A vast body of folk narratives has carried the jackalope’s fame around the world to inspire art\, music\, film\, even erotica!

SUMMARY:Hotel Goodbyes | Stephen Thompson Book Signing | Thursday | October 24th
DESCRIPTION:Join us in meeting Stephen Thompson presenting his book\, Hotel Goodbyes. \nIt was January 1980\, in a motel room in Reno. Stephen Jon Thompson was just nine years old\, left behind with his four younger siblings\, the youngest just a year old. Their mother had left two days before to go to the laundromat. She never returned. Now the power was out\, the Nilla wafers were running low\, and the Rubik’s cube that his mother had brought home from her waitressing job could not be solved. Stephen\, the oldest\, had a bigger problem to solve\, what to do with the four young souls he was now in charge of. He finally determined they all needed to get out of that motel room. He dialed the front desk. Thus begins Hotel Goodbyes\, Stephen Jon Thompson’s gripping memoir about making it in America against incredible odds. \nHotel Goodbyes is one man’s journey to come to grips with his past. From Ohio to California to Nevada and back\, Stephen takes us on his journey from foster child to wildfire fighter to college graduate to blackjack dealer to state assembly candidate to successful technology executive. Along the way\, he reconnects with his younger siblings and tracks down his Aunt Ouida\, his mother’s sister\, to find the answer to the question he has always had: why did his mother leave that day and never come back? In the end\, Stephen determines that his mother abandoned him\, but also left him with a gift\, a gift of a better life. \nAbandoned by his mother at just nine years old\, Stephen Jon Thompson went on to graduate from the University of San Diego (USD). Since then\, he has been a successful professional in the software and technology industry with companies like Google\, Apple\, LinkedIn\, Amazon\, Nike\, and now Docusign. Active in philanthropic endeavors\, Stephen is a member of the board of directors for Save the Bay\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to cleaning up the San Francisco Bay. Stephen was also a board member of Students Rising Above\, which supports the education of first-generation college students who have overcome unbelievable obstacles like his own. Stephen lives in San Jose\, California\, with his wife\, Penelope\, and two sons\, Carson and Quincy.
