The Fair

Winnemucca is home to the Humboldt County Fair, which celebrates a northern Nevada county where cattle ranching, gold mining, and the Basque immigrant heritage define a community along the Humboldt River — Winnemucca is famous for its Basque restaurants, rodeos, and as a crossroads on I-80 between Salt Lake City and Reno.
