North Star Rodeo

The Rodeo just outside of Effie is a full-featured one. Everything you will find in rodeos across the West is on display here. The contestants are mostly home grown, but some veteran cowboys from all parts of the U.S. and Canada come to do their thing at the Minnesota's North Star Rodeo. It's a ceremonial re-creation of how it was done during pioneer times conducted safely under the rules of the Minnesota Rodeo Association. The events mentioned above are all contested each day of the three day rodeo.
