The evening entertainment at the Harvey County Free Fair will come out of the gates with a fair tradition July 30 the annual Newton Saddle Club Rodeo will be in the Newton Saddle Club Area.
An event started in the late 1960s, it was one of few fair events that was able to be run in 2020 as COVID-19 restrictions led to the cancellation of most large public events. There were a lot of rodeos that were canceled last year, said Morrie Unruh, event organizer. Our attendance was good. Last year there were people ready to get out and do something. . For the circumstances it was very good. Last year was also hard on sponsors because their businesses were hurting.
