RENO -- It's been 125 years since the first Nevada State Fair opened in 1874 on a dirt road linking Reno to Carson City and Virginia City. But some things haven't changed much.
Visitors to this year's fair from Aug. 25 through Aug. 29 will see similar exhibits of locally grown produce, livestock and homemade items ranging from knitwear to jams and jellies.
