NABOs 2013 Convention and the 50th anniversary of Elkos National
Festival
One of the highlights of the 2013 Convention in Elko was when
NABO President, Valerie Arrechea (photo center), presented NABO’s
lifetime achievement Bizi Emankorra awards to Bob Goicochea (photo
left) from Elko and Jim Ithurralde (photo right) from Eureka, NV.
This award is vot-ed on by the current NABO delegates and is
presented to people who have made an extraordinary contribution to
Basque culture in the US. This year's awardees were instrumental in
the early days of NABO and have made significant contributions to
their local Basque communities. Jim
Ithurralde was NABO’s second president.
