SUMMARY:Crab Crack - 2024
DESCRIPTION:Make sure you’re not wearing your Saturday best during this year’s Crab Crack on February 3rd and March 2nd at the Ely Elks Lodge\, because attempting to be dainty is a losing strategy at this type of event. For most people\, this is another great gathering at the table with some friends and family. \nThis event serves 500 pounds of crab that is shipped to Ocean Beauty Distributors in Salt Lake from Fishhawk Fisheries in Astoria\, Oregon. Volunteers from the lodge drive to Salt Lake to pick up the frozen crab on Wednesday before the event. The crab is thawed and served at just the right temperature. Along with the crab\, 60 pounds of coleslaw and 50 loaves of garlic bread\, cocktail sauce and 39 pounds of melted butter is also served with dinner. \nYou arrive to your seat\, and a plate of crab legs\, a “crab cracker”\, and bib awaits each guest. \n$55 per ticket \n$70 for steak and crab \nYou see many guests holding a conversation while cracking open crab legs\, pulling the meat off with their hands popping it in their mouth and continuing on their journey of disassembling a crab leg for all of the meat it has to offer.  Some choose to wear the bib that is provided and others try to maintain their fashion trend by opting out on the bib option. \nThe volunteers keep circling the tables with bowls of crab\, waiting for you to flag them over for another set of crab legs. \nContact Gale Bartlett for more information and tickets at (775) 293 – 0107.

SUMMARY:Fair and Horse Races of White Pine County
DESCRIPTION:Fair and Horse Races of White Pine County\nThe White Pine County Fair and Horse Races returns to the White Pine County fairgrounds on August 18-20\, with all the fun of a county fair and all the excitement of horse racing. \n**POST TIME FOR HORSE RACING**\nFriday @ 3:00 P.M.\nSaturday & Sunday @ 1:00 P.M. \nIn addition to pari-mutuel betting\, activities include\, 3 days of live music\, BBQ\, crafts\, vendors\, 4H exhibits\, livestock auctions\, and more. Grab the entire family and Visit Ely Nevada for 3 days of fun at the oldest horse racing event in Nevada. \nA safe bet for a fabulously exciting time is the White Pine Horse Races in Ely\, NV.  This iconic event has been taking place since the 1920s and draws thousands of people from all over the country.  Featuring exciting\, live action racing of thoroughbreds and quarter horses; complete with pari-mutuel betting\, bar\, concessions and the County Fair. Post time 3 pm Fri.\, Aug. 19; and 1 pm Sat. & Sun.\, Aug. 20-21. Free admission on Friday. On Sat. & Sun. $5. See you at the Races! Located halfway between Las Vegas and Salt Lake City. \nOriginally organized in 1934\, the races were formed by local ranchers and business people in an effort to overcome the depression blues. Some of the people involved in the formation of the races were Bill Goodman\, Frank Calloway and Stan Draper. This group ran the races until 1937 when the county helped by forming a Fair Board. The first chairman of the board was Tom Bath\, a local business owner. A year later\, they would build a new race track and grandstand which is still in use. \nThe White Pine County Fair returns to the WPC fairground on August 19-21\, with all the fun of a county fair. Activities include\, 3 days of live music\, BBQ\, crafts\, vendors\, 4H exhibits\, livestock auctions\, and more. Grab the entire family and Visit Ely Nevada for 3 days of fun at the oldest horse racing event in Nevada. \nPari-mutuel betting is the most common form of horse racing betting. The term actually originated in France\, and literally translates “to wager amongst ourselves”. 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 2023 Condition Book can be found (TBA)!\n\nMore info can be found here!

SUMMARY:Dirt\, Boss Shop Cat\, Remembrance Day
DESCRIPTION:Dirt\, Boss Shop Cat\, Remembrance Day\nFrom the desk of the Nevada Northern Railway: \n\nDirt\, our beloved shop cat\, passed away on January 10th. The outpouring of support that we have received has been overwhelming and incredible.\n\n\n\nWe knew he was beloved\, not only by us\, but also by people around the world. Our Facebook post that announced his passing has reached nearly 2 million people. Phenomenal! Because of this outpouring of support\, I would like to make two announcements.\n\n\n\nThe first is that we will be honoring Dirt\, Boss Shop Cat\, on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend\, May 28th. Secondly\, we have hired a sculptor to create two life-size bronzes of Dirt.\n\n\nWe plan to unveil Dirt’s statue and headstone on Sunday\, May 28\, 2023\, at 10:00 am. We will be operating two trains that day: the first one is 11:30 am (for tickets: shorturl.at/amKLS)\, the second train is at 2:00 pm (for tickets: shorturl.at/sAD08). Included in the ticket price are guided tours of Dirt’s home our machine shop and engine house building.\n\n\n\nBecause of all of the interest and support\, the museum is committed to having two bronze statues made. One statue and a gravestone will be over his burial place. This is near the East Ely Depot where he can look out over the train yard and watch all of our activities. The second statue will be displayed in the engine house where he was born at the Nevada Northern Railway National Historical Landmark in Ely\, Nevada. If you would like to contribute to having the bronzes made\, we have a special account set up for contributions. It is named Dollars for Dirt\, to contribute click here: https://nnry.doubleknot.com/registration/donate.aspx…\n\n\n\nIn Dirt’s passing\, he has transformed from being our Boss Shop Cat to becoming an ambassador for Heritage Railroading across the country and around the world. Dirt’s physical presence has left us\, but his spirit is still with us and will be for as long steam locomotives operate.\n\n\n\nI consider Dirt following in the paw prints of Smoky Bear. Smokey was a real bear cub that survived a forest fire. Since 1944 he has been a symbol of forest fire prevention\, “Only YOU can prevent forest fires.”\n\n\nI see Dirt\, Boss Shop Cat\, doing the same thing. Dirt will help us reach new people to explain why the preservation of our steam railroading heritage is so important and he will also be instrumental in helping us teach railroad safety to children. Dirt was and still is truly amazing. As long as the big wheels keep turning here\, Dirt will be with us all. It’s a tall order\, but then again\, who knew that the runt of the litter\, a little orange and white ball of fur would become such a colossus in the world of heritage railroading!\n\n\n\nI hope you can join us on May 28th\, and we look forward to having you join us in celebrating the life of Dirt\, the Boss Shop Cat. We will try to livestream the event for those of you who can’t make it.\n\n\nWe will continue to carry Dirt items in our gift shop. Some items are currently out of stock by are on order. Access our online gift shop here shorturl.at/eBY24

SUMMARY:NNRY Winter Steam Photo Weekend Spectacular
DESCRIPTION:NNRY Winter Steam Photo Weekend Spectacular\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. \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\, set your watch back a century\, and photograph railroading as it was in the last century. \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\, on the original Nevada Northern Railway mainline.  All of this 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. \nThis was the time when steam moved mountains. The real business of this railroad was copper and copper was king! It was the reason that the railroad was built in the first place. Ore trains ran day and night\, year-round. The demand for copper was insatiable. It was the miracle metal that made all of the newfangled inventions\, such as the electric light and the telephone\, possible. Today our trains still move from the mine to the mill—steam powered\, of course. \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. \n \n  \nParticipants have won numerous photo contests\, recording timeless scenes of a historical railroad that are second to none. Many of the “Winter Spectacular” photos rival the best that National Geographic has to offer. \nOf course locomotives\, rolling stock and tracks are a big and obvious part of this railroad. But its just part of what makes a railroad work. You also need the infrastructure: Enginehouse\, machine shop\, carpenter shop\, blacksmith shop\, depot and dispatcher building. Oh and don’t forget\, the locomotives go nowhere without stopping at the coaling tower and water standpipes. We have those too\, the original ones! \nConsidered by William L. Withuhn\, Curator emeritus\, History of Technology and Transportation at the Smithsonian Institution\, “Among all railroad historic sites anywhere in North America\, the Nevada Northern Railway complex at East Ely is-no question in my view-the most complete\, most authentic\, and best cared-for\, bar none. It’s a living American treasure and a stand-out one. Historic tracks\, original depot and office building\, Enginehouse\, Freight Station\, three original steam locomotives\, five historic and rare wooden passenger cars\, Kennecott diesel engines\, 60 early freight cars\, working machine shop\, foundry-even the coaling tower and water tower that are icons of the site-everything is still there.” \nWhat will we have running for the next photo shoot?  It varies from year-to-year\, but in general we have a broad range of original\, Vintage Nevada Northern Railway equipment running out on the main line and in the East Ely yard. \n\nWe’ll have steam pulling our original wooden passenger consist made up of a RPO/baggage car and passenger car.  This consist has been serving passengers and departing from this depot for over a century now.\nShould there be a mishap on the tracks here\, we’ll send for the big hook; our original century old operating steam powered wrecking crane. This wrecking crane is pulled by a century old 2-8-0 steam locomotive that looks like it just rolled out of the American Locomotive Company shops. The wreck train consists of the crane\, flat car\, tool car\, outfit car and\, of course\, a caboose.  (Don’t worry – even if there is no mishap we will stage one to demonstrate the big hook in action\, under steam)\nOnce the tracks are cleared\, it’s time to get on with the business of railroading. Freight trains can once again roll and so will ore trains.  We will roll our fleet of original ore cars with our original locomotives.\nMost of the freight in the last century moved in boxcars. No self respecting railroad would be without boxcars – and the N. N. Ry is no different. A fleet of our original wooden boxcars with arch-bar trucks\, built in 1912 are in top condition and are ready for their next load.  Most model railroaders would give anything to have a vintage freight fleet like this.  You will see the real-life\, full scale 1912 freight roll by time-after-time this weekend out on our original main-line.\n\n  \nLearn More About the Railroads Winter Steam Photo Weekend HERE!\nDiscover More White Pine County Events HERE!

No self respecting railroad would be without boxcars – and the N. N. Ry is no different. A fleet of our original wooden boxcars with arch-bar trucks\, built in 1912 are in top condition and are ready for their next load.  Most model railroaders would give anything to have a vintage freight fleet like this.  You will see the real-life\, full scale 1912 freight roll by time-after-time this weekend out on our original main-line.\n\n  \nLearn More About the Railroads Winter Steam Photo Weekend HERE!\nDiscover More White Pine County Events HERE!

SUMMARY:Race the Rails - 2022
DESCRIPTION:Race the Rails – 2022\nThe steam locomotive and the bicycle were invented nearly 10 years apart. Both changed the way we travel\, but which will prevail on September 10th at the Race The Rails? At the sound of the train whistle\, mountain and road bikers race to see who can get back to the depot before the train. \nMountain bikers test their speed and agility on a challenging 10 mile course through the beautiful mountains surrounding Ely\, while road bikers prove their speed and endurance on a 25 mile course along roads and highways in the area. Everyone who finishes the course will receive a finisher’s medal. \nThis is not a regular race against time\, or your fellow riders. It’s a race against one of histories most powerful inventions! It’s Race the Rails – 2022!\nTickets and additional info: 6th Annual Race The Rails Tickets\, Sat\, Sep 10\, 2022 at 8:00 AM | Eventbrite\nSee what Ely offers in lodging by clicking HERE!\nEly is a remote mountain town of 4\,000 where history\, art\, and outdoor adventure run deep. In the nearby Great Basin National Park\, travelers have the chance to descend into the depths of the Lehman Cave system to explore a series of limestone and marble caverns full of huge stalagmites and other wild rock formations. The park is also home to the snow-capped Wheeler Peak which\, at 13\,000 feet\, is the second-tallest mountain in Nevada. \nFollow Updates on Our Facebook HERE!
