The Queen of Hearts Barrel Race kicked off Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association week in Fallon with three days of competition June 12-14 at the Rafter 3C Event Complex.
The event was co-sanctioned by the Women's Professional Rodeo Association, Outlaw Barrel Racing, Better Barrel Races, the North State Barrel Racing Association, Triple 7, and the Southern Idaho Barrel Racing Association.
Competitors raced for a share of more than $30,000 in added money and $10,000 in awards. Competition ranged from warm-up races to open and high-stakes events, with futurity and derby races, as well as senior and youth side pots.
Nevada's Richest Women's Breakaway, a roping competition featuring $2,500 in added money, was scheduled as part of the event week.
Retail vendors from Fallon and surrounding communities participated throughout the event week. Organizers said the western showcase provided businesses an opportunity to display their products while serving visitors attending one of Northern Nevada's premier western events.
