The Junction City Rodeo is Friday and Saturday nights at the arena just off South Spring Valley Road on the west side of the city.

Rodeo Association President Daryl Blocker and others have been, and will continue working this week to prepare the arena. “The arena needs prepared. It had a lot of weeds. We’ve got a tree that needs to come down that’s died, spray weed killer, mowing. ” They’re also seeking three sets of bleachers that are not at the arena right now.

The rodeo begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Tickets are $9 in advance and $10 at the gate for adults, and $4 in advance and $5 at the gate for children ages 6-12.

Ticket locations are Orscheln’s in Junction City and Manhattan, Rittel’s Western Wear in Abilene, and PJ’s Liqour Store in Clay Center.
