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.
