Held in Gordon each year on the third week of August, the Sheridan County Fair and Rodeo is the third largest rodeo in Nebraska and highly ranked throughout the western United States.
The Rodeo features bareback riding, calf roping, saddle bronc riding, team roping, barrel racing, bull ridding, steer wrestling, plus the "protector of the cowboy" -- the rodeo clown -- and is a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys' Association (PRCA).
You will be challenged by a tough nine-hole grass greens course, "the best in the west," located on the west edge of town.
Several tournaments are sponsored during the season. Youth activities are important at the club and visitors are always welcome.
