Congratulations and well done to the board of the Nyssa Nite Rodeo. This dedicated group has worked diligently to continue the tradition of the rodeo, now celebrating 71 years.

Also congratulations to Dani Alvarado who was crowned queen on Saturday night.

It was great to see all the horses on Main Street during Saturday’s parade. Leading the parade were grand marshals David and Carla Robbins, riding in a beautiful black coach pulled by a matched team of horses.

Thank you to Mike Beavers for providing a ride for David and Carla.
