The 2008 Tri-County Fair in Winnemucca was one of the best ever! There was record attendance, the weather was fabulous and the entertainment was awesome. From the carnival to the rodeo, there was something for everyone.Saturday morning the floats crowded the Model T parking lot preparing for the parade. People lined Winnemucca Blvd. to watch the floats pass by and the kids scramble for candy.
Out at the fairgrounds, there was entertainment going on non -stop. The food was really great! Did you check out those BBQ ribs? Vendors were selling out of food. They were super busy.
The first annual Pig Wrestling Competition was better than ever could have been expected! There had to be over 2,000 people in attendance. There were 47 teams, including pee wee, junior, men and women divisions. These people really got down and dirty for charity, raising over $9,000! This event has been the talk around Winnemucca all week. Pig Wrestling brought people down to the fair that probably wouldn't have come otherwise. It was so much fun to watch, and those that participated all had a blast! I can't wait for next year!
