Unlike most other forms of betting\, the odds are not fixed. Rather than placing a bet against the race track\, like one would with a bookie\, horse racing bettors are wagering against each other. For this reason\, the payouts on a single wager could range anywhere from less than the actual amount wagered\, to astronomical amounts. \nCome down to the fairgrounds early on Friday and check out all the excitement of the Ranch Rodeo.  Contestants compete in events like bronc riding\, barrel racing\, roping\, and even mutton busting for the kids. \nLocated at the White Pine County Fair Grounds on Fairview Lane next to the Marich Softball Complex. \nSee their website for a list of events and prices. \nThe 2026 Condition Book(TBA)\nMore Info Can Be Found HERE!

SUMMARY:NNRY Photoshoots and Workshops
DESCRIPTION:NNRY Photoshoots and Workshops\nIf you think you were born one hundred years too late to witness the glory of steam railroading\, then we have good news for you: you weren’t. There still exists a place where steam locomotives rule the rails\, and there’s no better opportunity to view and capture them forever than at the NNRY Photo Weekend Spectacular! \nHidden away in the high desert of east central Nevada is a time capsule like no other: the Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark. Annually during the first two weekends in February\, time travel is possible. Come to Ely\, Nevada and set your watch back a century\, and photograph vintage railroading. \nThe Nevada Northern Railway is not a mishmash of equipment from different railroads or different countries\, nor is the equipment prettified or garish. This is the original railroad equipment in the original paint schemes in the original setting.  All equipment has been on the property for decades\, and some if it more than a century\, all of it still operating on the original track that was graded and laid a century ago. \nWhat can you expect during the photo shoots? World-class photographic opportunities\, steam locomotives pulling vintage freight and passenger cars that are original to the railroad. Here\, trains are still made up with wooden cars whose origins date back as far as 1872. The crews will be in period dress\, adding to the experience. \nSo why come to Ely in the winter? If you think that Steam locomotive 93 looks good on an 85-degree day in August but wait till you see it on a frosty February day. Billowing white clouds of steam plus plumes of black & gray smoke towering above the canyons and valleys. Snow? Weather here can be capricious! It can range from blizzard conditions to cobalt blue skies sometimes within minutes. In the past we’ve experienced every type of meteorological conditions that wintertime Ely experiences\, including shirtsleeve weather. But regardless of the weather\, the show goes on. \nParticipants have won numerous photo contests\, recording timeless scenes of a historical railroad that are second to none. \nLearn More About the NNRY Photo Weekend Spectacular HERE!\nDiscover More White Pine County Events HERE!

SUMMARY:NNRY Photoshoots and Workshops
DESCRIPTION:NNRY Photoshoots and Workshops\nIf you think you were born one hundred years too late to witness the glory of steam railroading\, then we have good news for you: you weren’t. There still exists a place where steam locomotives rule the rails\, and there’s no better opportunity to view and capture them forever than at the NNRY Photo Weekend Spectacular! \nHidden away in the high desert of east central Nevada is a time capsule like no other: the Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark. Annually during the first two weekends in February\, time travel is possible. Come to Ely\, Nevada and set your watch back a century\, and photograph vintage railroading. \nThe Nevada Northern Railway is not a mishmash of equipment from different railroads or different countries\, nor is the equipment prettified or garish. This is the original railroad equipment in the original paint schemes in the original setting.  All equipment has been on the property for decades\, and some if it more than a century\, all of it still operating on the original track that was graded and laid a century ago. \nWhat can you expect during the photo shoots? World-class photographic opportunities\, steam locomotives pulling vintage freight and passenger cars that are original to the railroad. Here\, trains are still made up with wooden cars whose origins date back as far as 1872. The crews will be in period dress\, adding to the experience. \nSo why come to Ely in the winter? If you think that Steam locomotive 93 looks good on an 85-degree day in August but wait till you see it on a frosty February day. Billowing white clouds of steam plus plumes of black & gray smoke towering above the canyons and valleys. Snow? Weather here can be capricious! It can range from blizzard conditions to cobalt blue skies sometimes within minutes. In the past we’ve experienced every type of meteorological conditions that wintertime Ely experiences\, including shirtsleeve weather. But regardless of the weather\, the show goes on. \nParticipants have won numerous photo contests\, recording timeless scenes of a historical railroad that are second to none. \nLearn More About the NNRY Photo Weekend Spectacular HERE!\nDiscover More White Pine County Events HERE!
