Nevada Fair Kicks off day 3 with events, activities related to state culture
From livestock showings to face painting and weaving, the Nevada Fair in Carson City attracts thousands to learn about Nevada culture and spend time in the community.
The four day event features livestock exhibits, local food vendors, carnival rides, games and live entertainment. Guests can park at Casino Fandango to be shuttled to the fair location at the Fairgrounds in Fuji Park. Tickets for an all day ride wristband can be purchased at the fair. Festivities began Thursday and will continue through Sunday.
The arena will be thumping Saturday with a truck and tractor pull where modified trucks and tractors will duel it out, dragging the 4,000-pound Terminator sled down a 300-foot dirt track.
“MLM Motorsports is excited to bring professional truck and tractor pulling to the Nevada Fair this year,” said producer Brian Massetti. “Fairgoers of all ages will be treated to the ground-pounding action.”
The horsepower-packed event will showcase modified four-wheel drive trucks, 8,000-pound unlimited modified tractors and 7,200-pound limited modified tractors.
“Tractors with up to four engines that have never seen an implement and pick-up trucks that will never see the streets will be displaying their raw horsepower as they power down the track,” Massetti said.
Local competitors may also participate in several classes open to gasoline- or diesel-powered trucks. Registration for all competitors will be 2-5 p.m. the day of the event. Entry fee is $40. A full list of pulling classes can be found at mlm-motorsports.com.
