Attendees at the various rallies, some of whom made it to multiple events, were excited at the opportunity for Elko to play a role in the election and give everyone, young and old, a real-life civics lesson.
Carolyn Bowers, Elko, attended Clinton's rally with her 12-year-old granddaughter, Amy. Bowers said she hadn't made a decision about whom to support, which was why she planned on attending Obama's town hall meeting as well.
"This is a great opportunity for my granddaughter to see how politics works," Bowers said.
