Competitors in a mud volleyball tournament play against each other during the competition at the Eureka County Fair in Eureka, Nevada on August 13, 2022. Organizers say they got the idea for volleyball in a mud pit from another county fair and it has since become an annual tradition of friendly competition against neighbors. Eureka, the county seat of Eureka County, bills itself as “The Friendliest Town on the Loneliest Highway.” At the time of the last census there were only 1,855 inhabitants in the entire county.
