HALLECK BAR PARTY
Friday, March 25, 2022
from 6-9 p.m. in Halleck Bar Gallery
Theme: Elko Rodeo
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.
GREAT HUMBOLDT DUCK
RACE
Tentative Date: Friday, July 22nd at 9 a.m.
Ducks will be dumped from top of Angel Park Hill in the
event of drought.
As the Museum’s biggest fundraiser, 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. The last duck to cross the finish line wins the $250
prize sponsored by Everything Elko!

Join us for two evenings of classic films shown in Elko
