WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE MUSEUM

Hey Elko! Have You Met Delko!

The Great Humboldt Duck Race has a new chairman. His name is Delko! He has been out and about spreading the word about the Great Humboldt Duck Race. This year's Duck Race was a great success and we hope everyone that came out to watch the race had fun. Even though the Duck race is over, Delko wants you all to remember to come out next year and adopt your duck. You never know you could be next year's winner!

And the Winner of The Great Humboldt Duck Race is??

The Great Humboldt Duck Race VI was a great success. The Museum would like to congratulate this year’s Humboldt Duck Race Winner duck #323 that was purchased by Dan Byington. Dan is shown here receiving a check for the Grand Prize of $1,000.00 from Delko and two of the local sponsors. The Museum thanks all this year’s sponsors and looks forward to next year’s race being bigger and better.

Flag of Honor

The Northeastern Nevada Museum will be displaying a “Flag of Honor”,made from all the names of the people who perished in the attacks of 9/11. The flag was used in the ceremony to unveil the I-beam from the World Trade Center, on Sunday, September 11, 2011 at City Hall. It is on loan from Museum Board Member Brad Roberts.

Easter at the Museum

Delko was a big help at the Easter Egg Hunt! He helped all the kids with their projects and with finding the Easter Eggs.
