HALLECK BAR PARTY
APRIL 2017 Known as the best cocktail party in Elko for the past 40+ years, members and friends with a glass of Beefeater gin, drink a toast to the acquisition of the antique bar and back bar from a saloon in the once wild and woolly nearby town of Halleck. With an abundance of good company, good food, and of course, good gin, it is the best way to celebrate local history and culture. The public is invited to join in celebrating a part of our local history. The date for the next Halleck Bar Party is April 14, 2017 (6:00 – 9:00 pm), with the theme “City of Elko Centenial” (1917–2017). Come in costume as a character from the colorful past century of community history and win a prize for the best dressed. Live entertainment and a silent auction to boot!
CHILDREN’S OLD FASHIONED 4TH OF JULY
SATURDAY JULY 2, 2016, 9:00 – 10:30 am
Join us again this Independence Day as we get back to
our roots and celebrate, the old fashioned way, with a

GREAT HUMBOLDT DUCK RACE
DATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE
One of the museum’s biggest fund-raisers, the Great
Humboldt Duck Race, has become one of Elko’s unique
family events. Every year thousands of little rubber
duckies are adopted by supporters of the museum and
then dumped into the Humboldt River, where they race
to the finish line. The quickest duck wins its adopter
$1,500 cash and all the pride and prestige that come
with sweet victory. Meet our mascot Delko Duck at the
Elko Chamber of Commerce Home and Business Expo
(May 7-8), the Cinco de Mayo Parade (May 7), and the
Lamoille Country Fair (June 26). With each duck
adoption, receive a wooden nickel good for 10% off on
one item in the Museum Store.
