A-List Photography…read more Amazing photographic artistry! I found Kandi on Yelp as we were in Winnemucca on business for my husband's job when our baby was born. I booked as soon as I saw her website as there was no need to shop around after seeing her online gallery.I was super pleased with my newborn photos as they captured our little miracle so beautifully! Kandi's abilities as a photographer along with her studio rival A-list photographers you would find in a large city. The investment into her photo packages are worth every dime!

The Duncan Littlecreek Gallery Bar was perfect for us, as we always check-out the art museum when we travel. Sat at the old historic bar and also wandered thru the galleries while enjoying craft cocktails and local beer. Savannah was wonderful, sharing history of the bar and of Elko. So sad for the regulars, as she was working her last week. The Walden's Pond was good, even though they were out of basil. There were nice choices for drafts. Trivia Night started before we could depart and the bar filled up with locals. It was a fun evening!

We've attended many small gatherings here over the years, but also find it a special downtown spot to relax for a half hour or so before heading home. Because we live 25 minutes from Elko, we tend to go to DLC in the late afternoon/early evening, but they have activities and sometimes live music later. Go! You won't be sorry.

How cool is this event! I was lucky enough to stumble upon Cowboy Poetry while in Elko for…read morebusiness. I snagged some last minute tickets to one of their evening events (cash only), grabbed myself a beer (bud light) and a seat, and enjoyed 1.5 hours of cowboy culture. I never knew there was so much "culture" that went into agriculture. It was so enjoyable and the performers were fabulous! Four cowboys told the tale of their passion and work through songs, stories and poetry. A wonderful way to experience the culture of the wild west. I will certainly be back next year, and might even consider making a special trip to Elko just for this event, as many others do.

When I told my dad I was going to Elko for a work trip, he said, "oh wow! That's the same week as…read morethe Cowboy Poetry Gathering!" I can't say that it's something I would have sought out, but I stashed that little fact away as I prepared for my trip. I asked a few locals about it, and started to understand that this is a BIG event. People travel to Elko from all over to the world for this event year after year. I don't have a specific interest in country music or cowboy culture, but I do have a general interest in cultural events, and decided that we just had to experience this event! Luckily, my colleagues were game, so we headed down to the Folklife Center and bought our $20 tickets (cash only!) and our bottled Bud Light ($3). The show was absolutely fantastic! There are a variety of events throughout the Gathering...ours consisted of 1 cowboy poet (Paul Zarzynski), 1 solo singer (Gail Steiger), and a duo of singers (Cowboy Celtic). There was a nice interplay between the group, and all three were amazing additions to the show. The poet mixed emotion with comedy, the singer told stories about his grandfather and his experiences as a lifelong cowboy. The duo sang about a variety of topics, and were really spectacular. All in all, an amazing show. We all had a great time and left the event with smiles on our faces. We are already talking about trying to plan next year's Elko work trip during the Cowboy Poetry Gathering so we can check out more events!

This museum is dedicated to the preservation of the vaquero (this is Spanish for cowboy to the uninitiated) and the American Buckaroo. The Cowboy Arts & Gear Museum is full of history, culture and traditions of the cowboy of the American West. The idea of the American cowboy is kind of romantic to many, but it is actually the daily life of people of live in this region of Nevada. This museum brings the past and present together in an easy digestible way for the museum goer to understand. Housed in the actual shop of the famous saddle maker G.S. Garcia (the building itself is well over 100 years old), this museum is full of gorgeous saddles and beautiful silver work. Family photographs, images, bits, spurs, stories, saddles, belt buckles...there is a lot on display. The museum is only one floor and would not take a ton of time to wander through. There is a cute little gift shop area in the back selling souvenirs as well. The director, Jan Peterson, was there the day we wandered through while visiting Elko for the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. She was so enthusiastic and welcoming of our visit and had a passion for this museum project in this community. A great little museum for this area and a great little museum to celebrate the American west and the spirit of the cowboy.
