HALLECK BAR PARTY
POSTPONED Elko Rodeo In an effort to help curb the COVID-19 virus, we are postpoining the Halleck Bar Party until later this summer. Please visit our website, social media pages, or call the Front Desk for updates. You are cordially invited to the most raucous and woolly wild west affair in Elko County. Dress in your best rodeo attire--hats, chaps, lassos, and spurs encouraged! The best costume wins the evening’s grand prize. Let the celebration begin! Enjoy music, libations, hors d’oeuvres, paella, and a silent auction with the toast of the town. Each year, we commemorate the Halleck Bar, which was donated to the Museum by the Glaser Family and Chach Evans. The stipulation for us to keep the bar is that we must have an annual party and a toast with Beefeater Gin. The Halleck Bar Party is one of Northeastern Nevada Museum’s most important fundraisers. All donations directly support the Museum and its projects. $20 donation per member appreciated. $25 donation per non-member.

then dumped into the Humboldt River where they race to
the finish line. The quickest duck wins its adopter $1,500
cash. The last duck to cross the finish line wins $250-
sponsored by Everything Elko!
