The Nevada State Fair

Attending the Nevada State Fair will take you back to the good old days when agriculture was king and cotton candy was a special treat. You will find all the traditional livestock events and 4-H kids from all over Nevada. There's a carnival midway and all those fun rides for kids and adults who like to act like kids. Be sure to check out the truck pull, demolition derby, and the famous Wiener Dog Races. I've been to the State Fair and can attest that it is really a hoot and great for families.

The 2008 Nevada State Fair runs from August 20th through the 24th. It's held at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center, 1350 N. Wells Avenue in Reno. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling (888) 695-0888. The information phone number is (775) 688-5767.
