HALLECK BAR PARTY

Friday, March 24, 2023 from 6-9 p.m. in Halleck Bar Gallery Theme: Rhinestone Cowboy 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 Date: Friday, July 28th at 9 a.m. Ducks will be dumped from top of Angel Park Hill As the Museum’s biggest fundraiser, the Great Humboldt Duck Race has become one of Elko’s unique family events.

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!
