PRCA rodeo competition, livestock shows, 4-H and FFA agricultural exhibits, produce competitions featuring the region's famous Hearts of Gold cantaloupes, carnival rides, food vendors, and local entertainment. The rodeo is a particularly strong draw in this ranching community.

Before You Go

Fallon is on US-50 about 60 miles east of Reno and Carson City. The Lahontan Valley is one of Nevada's surprising agricultural oases — the cantaloupes grown here are exceptionally sweet due to the high-desert climate. Churchill County also has the Naval Air Station Fallon, home of the Navy's Top Gun fighter weapons school.
