With traditional rodeo events, new events like novice saddle bronc, bareback and ranch bronc as well as the always popular Wild Cow Milking, the rodeo will be an event you won’t want to miss.
A Buckaroos Breakfast will be served from 7-11 a.m. Saturday at the Nyssa Senior Citizens Center. The menu is pancakes, sausage, biscuits and gravy, eggs and ham – all for $5 for adults and $3 for kids under age 8.
