Good morning, Carson City.

Rain fell during the 2026 Nevada Day Parade, but marchers, bands, and floats kept the celebration moving through downtown (photos capture the colorful scenes).

Nevada’s newest state park in Dayton will be named Crossroads Canyon State Park after a public naming process that drew thousands of suggestions and votes.

The Division of State Parks is planning recreation and amenities and seeks public input via an interactive guide and survey (open through Dec. 15); Fort Churchill Road stays open while other areas remain closed during planning.

Nevada State Parks announced Saturday that the 1,627-acre property will be named Crossroads Canyon State Park and is located at 1235 Fort Churchill Road (near Dayton).

The park isn't open yet; planners are taking public input via an online survey open Oct. 31 through Dec. 15 to shape recreation, access, and stewardship.

Closures and lane restrictions will affect multiple streets across the city from Nov.

2-8, with full closures on 7th Street and Plaza Street, Musser closed Saturday 7 a.m.-4 p.m., and single-lane or shoulder work on 5th, California, Telegraph, and others; expect flaggers + reduced lanes.

Emmit Hoyl of Nederland, Colorado, won the World Championship Single Jack Rock Drilling title for the fourth straight year Saturday during Nevada Day activities in Carson City, drilling 12 inches and 7/32 to take the crown.
