- **Event Name**: Future in Rearview: Stories from the Edge of Then and Now
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 18 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Wed, 18 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for an evening that weaves together water, memory, innovation, and imagination—exploring how the choices we make today ripple into the future. While the 1997 flood offers a powerful point of reflection, this program looks beyond a single event to examine Nevada’s evolving relationship with water through science, personal story, and creative practice.

From the hidden water demands of emerging technologies and energy growth, to a fifth-generation farmer’s journey into groundwater science, to the transformative power of creativity in science education, our storytellers reveal how curiosity and lived experience shape the way we understand and steward our world.

Come discover how stories—both personal and collective—can deepen insight, spark connection, and help illuminate the path forward.

Refreshments &amp; cocktails from 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery will be provided
