    The first annual Legends of the West Bike & Car Fest was held in June of 2011. The Downtown Business Association (D.B.A.) was the force behind this new and exciting event which closed our main street for the first time in many years for something other than Nevada Day parades. Visit www.EventsNevada.com/legends.html for all the great pics and videos from Legends. D.B.A. President, Lenny Chappell said, “We are so pleased that this event is being enjoyed by everyone here. We have already heard that we should do this again next year.” As an integral part of Legends, food was collected for the F.I.S.H. Food Bank and a contribution made to the local chapters #1 and #7 of the Disabled American Veterans. Cmdr. Frank Greenwood, past State Commander and current leader of chapter #1, and Stewart MacRichie, chapter #7 treasurer and State-wide D.A.V. Member of the Year, received a check from Lenny on behalf of the event and the D.B.A.
