Rodeo Time

We have worked all year long for this event...this culmination of meetings, phone calls, preparation, work days and everything else that goes into putting on a huge event is finally here. Our small town and adjoining communities look forward to this event and it has continued in various capacities for 101 years.
This is not just an event it is a week long celebration where you see friends you haven't seen in exactly one year. It is a venue to eat the most delicious foods that you indulge in just once per year, a place to watch surprise and anticipation on the faces of every small child when they descend upon the fairgrounds, an arena filled to capacity with rodeo enthusists and a carnival with all the bells and whistles to delight those from one to one hundred.
This is truly a special event that could not happen without hundreds of volunteers and gracious donations. We love our small community and love this time of year. This one event promotes agrigulture and its importance in all of our lives, community, responsibility, whymsical fun and most of all a sense of place...our place and oh, it feels good to have a place to call home because even if you leave...you always come back for the fair!
