Wild West Fair

Join us at the Fair! Livestock Event Center
August 25 - 29, 2010

Attractions

Every state fair has to have a fun and lively carnival for young and old to enjoy and this fair is no exception! There will be plenty of the fun, safe, and exciting thrill rides and games (along with those cute kiddie rides) that you’ve come to expect from the Nevada State Fair in the past! Our carnival partner, Paul Maurer Shows, is committed to bringing the 2010 Nevada Territory Wild West Fair the best and most state-of-the-art quality amusement rides and attractions for your enjoyment, while also implementing a vintage flare to fit in with the old west theme of this new evolution and direction.

A historic journey back in time when Nevada first began!

We’re taking guests on a fun and educational ride through Nevada history that highlights the ways of life endured by our pioneer statesmen and women!

It’ll be a fair unsurpassed by any other event in the country!

In time it will become an international tourist destination that will surely be the focal point of Western enthusiasts across the globe!
