It’s back to the old West in Webster County today as the 65th annual Dayton Rodeo gets underway. Leonard Anderson, chairman of the rodeo, says the first show begins tonight at 7. Anderson says competitors from across the nation come to town looking to win cash prizes. Prizes last year ranged from 450 to 500 dollars, but he says that all depends on the number of entries. He says there’ll be a special feature this year. Representatives from the Ogalalla-Lakota-Sioux tribe will put on shows and answer questions. The Rodeo is a sanctioned event and cowboys will get points toward the grand championship on Monday.
