Nyssa Nite Rodeo It’s rodeo time in Nyssa again, and this 25th annual version of the Nyssa Nite Rodeo promises to be among the best. Sponsored at different times in the past by the Chamber of Commerce, the Owyhee Riding Club and for the last several years by the Nyssa Junior Chamber of Commerce; the rodeo has advanced to the stage where it was too big a job for any one group. With this realization the Nyssa Rodeo Association was formed by representatives of each of the several organizations named above plus the Oregon Trail Grange and Nyssa Lions Club. It promises to give a permanence and continuity to a traditional and always interesting event in our community. Chairman Lynn Snodgrass took the helm of the organization on rather late notice because of his many years of rodeo experience, and with a young group of enthusiasts has planned a rodeo which is shaping up into a winner. Fortunately, they were able to obtain the services of one of the best stock and rodeo producers, the Pehrson Rodeo Company of Darlington, Idaho. Sanctioned and approved by the Idaho Rodeo Association, the rodeo attracts some of the better cowboys in this area. The rodeo grounds required lots of work, and volunteer crews worked many nights repairing chutes and corrals, setting new posts, putting hinges on the gates, and as a result the rodeo facilities are in the best shape in several years. It takes a lot of work to stage an event of this kind. We in the community can best show our appreciation by turning out either Friday or Saturday night, not only to support our new rodeo association, but to enjoy a traditional and truly Western event.
