Around these parts, Labor Day means just one thing: it’s time for a fabulous weekend dedicated to some serious, end-of-summer fun.
“We have planned a very fun weekend,” said Darrel Field, chairman of this year’s Tri-County Fair Board. Field said the 2024 Fair not only will provide area residents with the opportunity to display their talents, but the weekend also will serve up great entertainment, food and— yes—plenty of good times.
Field said from Thursday, August 29, through Sunday, September 1, the Winnemucca Events Complex will be filled with a great family to-do list—and the majority of events are free!
This year the Fair will offer competition in more than 20 different divisions, including Ceramics, Crafts, Creative Arts, Crocheting, Knitting, Digital Arts, Fine Arts, Floriculture, Foods, Food Preserva-tion, Fruits/ Vegetables/ Crops, Handwork/Needlework, Photography, Quilting, Recycling, Sewing, Youth Division, and the Create-a-Picture, Write-aStory, Coloring, Mini-Construction, Pie and Water-melon Eating, Biggest
Home Grown, Decorated Boot, and Scavenger Hunt contests.
The Labor Day Rodeo will return at 6 p.m. Saturday in the Main Arena Outside at the Winne-mucca Events Complex. Rodeo-goers are in for a treat as some of the toughest cowboys and girls around compete in four events. Tickets are available online at LaborDayFair.com for $10; kids 8 and under get in free.
Friday evening beginning at 6 p.m., the Main Arena Outside will welcome the Jaripeo bull riding event featuring Rancho Galeana Los Toros Michoacanos, along with live music from “Los Grandes” and “Banda Salvaje.” Tickets are available online at LaborDayFair.com
The Fair also has rounded up some very entertaining—and free—shows. “The Magic of Scott Davis”and “Frank Prince Hypnosis Show” will debut on the Main Stage Outside at the Winnemucca Event Center, while some old favorites, like the “The Rowdy Refs Family Fun Show” and “Cowboy Buck’s Rootin Tootin Cowboy Music Show,” will return.
Additionally, the Northern Neva-
da Exotic Pet Expo will once again fill the Winnemucca Event Center from Friday through Sunday. Family members of all ages are invited to attend, learn and hold the “visitors”—and admission is free.
Also, don’t miss the return of the “Winnemucca 4D Barrel Race” Friday through Sunday in the Winnemucca Events Complex Pavilion. This toughgirl competition is produced by 777 Barrel Racing and is sanctioned with WPRA, SIBRA, BBR, NSBRA and TSBRA. Racers can expect $6,000 in added money.
Local audiences are invited to cap off the weekend with the MLM Motorsports Premier West Coast Truck and Tractor Pulling event beginning at 6 p.m. Sunday in the Main Arena Outside at the Winnemucca Events Complex. Whether residents take part as a spectator or a participant, everyone will have a great time, and be back next year for more. Spectator tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children ages 6-12; children ages 5 and under get in free. To buy tickets online, visit www.LaborDayFair.com.
