Event honoring Lyon County women set for March 22

Historical Society of Dayton Valley is hosting an open house to honor local women who make a difference in Lyon County from 1 to 4 p.m. March 22 at the Dayton Museum on Shady Lane.

Honorees include: Judy Harris, Jannette Hoffert, Mabel Masterman, Bonnie Matton, Ruby McFarland, Grace Ricci, Nancy Sbragia, Ruth Small, Laura Tennant, Lee Vecchiarelli and Kay Winters, all from Dayton, and Mona Reno from Silver City.

Light refreshments will be served at the event, which is being held to mark this month as Women’s History Month. Admission is free.
