Nelson hosts Nebraska High School rodeo

 

September 2, 2021



Rodeo action returns this weekend to the Nuckolls County Fairgrounds located south of Nelson. Instead of the professional rodeo associated with the annual county, this time the fair board will be hosting Nebraska High School rodeo action on Saturday and Sunday

The Nelson location is one of nine on the circuit this year. Earlier rodeos were held at Bassett, Lexington, Bloomfield and O’Neill. On the schedule after Nelson at rodeos at Broken Bow, Callaway and North Platte. From Nelson the contestants usually go on to the state fair at Grand Island.

If this year is like past years, the grounds will be filled with rigs that contain both sleeping quarters for the contestants and their families and transportation spaces for their horses. And it should happen to rain, it can be difficult to move the vehicles around. Some years the fair board has had to bring in large tractors to pull the rigs between paved roads and the grassed parking spaces.
