Plaza Party May 20 2018
Joseph Maino, The Fernley Reporter

The Plaza Party took Fernley by storm last Saturday (May 19) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sponsored by the Touch of Paradise, the event featured Hawaiian food, face painting and music by Biggest Little Radio. The other participating businesses included BFF Aesthetics and The Salon.



Priscilla Tarr, the owner of bff Aesthetics is a former bridge crewmember with the U.S.Army corps of engineers. She moved to Nevada about 8 years ago and has lived in Fernley for 2 years. Prior to opening her own business, she worked for a surgeon in Reno.

“I want both men and women to feel more beautiful whether through makeup or by simply enhancing their own natural beauty,” Tarr said.

BFF Aesthetics services include microblading which enhances and contours eyebrows, facials (even beard facials for men), facial peels, tinting of the brows and eye lashes, microdermabrasion and waxing of all kinds.

The owner of The Salon, Kate Stix, has lived in Fernley for 25 years and her salon has been open for 4.

“I've been doing hair for 38 years. The shop is comfortable, fun, very inviting, and everyone is friendly," Stix said. "We do a little bit of everything including hair, nails, eyelashes and waxing. We also take care of men”

Touch of Paradise is unique in that it not only includes massages, but also the Art Indeed Gallery. Recently opened by Rachel McCoy, Touch of Paradise features various types of massages, aromatherapy, wet sauna, iodized foot detox baths, hot scalp treatments, salt scrubs and although not showing at the Plaza Party she also sells handmade, one of a kind jewelry and CBD oils.

Born in Utah, McCoy has lived in Fernley since 2004, graduated from Fernley High School and was formally trained at the Ralston School of Massage in Reno. Previously, McCoy worked in another salon that had an art gallery so she knew she wanted one in her business too.

The event was attended by many Fernley citizens, including Mayor Roy Edgington.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
