WINNEMUCCA - This week, horse trailer after horse trailer will be lined up across the grounds of the Winnemucca Events Complex.
The goosenecks will be out in full force for Winnemucca's favorite event: The Ranch Hand Rodeo weekend.
This year's event will take place this Wednesday through Sunday, drawing participants and spectators from numerous Western states and Canada to this north-central Nevada town; in all, more than 2,000 people are expected to pack the Winnemucca Events Complex.
This year will see the return of the Winnemucca Invitational Bull Sale - a recent addition to the weekend that includes the hugely popular Ranch Hand Rodeo, Cow Dog Trials, Stock Horse Competition, Western Trade Show and Kids' Dummy Roping and Stick Horse Barrels.
A Ranch, Rope and Performance Horse Sale also gathers horse sellers and buyers to Winnemucca from all over the Western United States for what many have called the weekend's stand-out event.
Competitors have a great time over the course of the five-day weekend, but organizers say spectators will have a blast, too, catching some of the great competitions, shopping the Western Trade Show and enjoying the great food and drink from the concession area.
Spectators are invited to visit www.RanchRodeoNV for a full schedule of events for the 2012 Winnemucca Ranch Hand Rodeo weekend, or call the Winnemucca Convention and Visitors Authority at (775) 623-5071 or (800) 962-2638.
