About Pershing County Fair
The Pershing County Fair in Lovelock celebrates a Humboldt Sink county on the old emigrant trail where the Lovelock Cave preserved remarkable Pleistocene-era artifacts of early Nevada inhabitants, and where the Rye Patch Reservoir and cattle ranching sustain a small community along the I-80 corridor between Reno and Winnemucca.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, rodeo events, and the small-county community spirit of a northern Nevada ranching fair.
Visitor Tips
Lovelock is famous for its "Lovers Lock" tradition — couples attach padlocks to a circular fence in the town center as symbols of enduring love. Rye Patch State Recreation Area on the Humboldt River reservoir provides fishing, boating, and camping.
