The Elko Basque Festival is this weekend! We missed it last year becuase we were at Disneyland. Some of the events this year include:
Dance and Game Exhibitions on Friday night along with the fireworks display at the Fairgrounds
5k run/walk on Saturday morning
Parade
Handball competition
a Sheepherder Bread Baking contest
And I’m sure all the Chorizo you can eat. I can’t wait!
More details at the Elko Euzkaldunak Club website

You’ll have to remind of of that next year; I’d like to check that out.
I was at the High Desert Museum in Bend recently, and they had a large exhibit about Basques in the American West, and Elko was mentioned prominently.
