April 29, 2024 – On Monday, Governor Jim Pillen helped set the stage for the annual Nebraska Cornhusker College Rodeo by declaring the week of April 29th, “Rodeo Week” in Nebraska.
Joined by members of the University of Nebraska – Lincoln Rodeo Team, Governor Pillen rode horseback around his residence to promote the upcoming UNL College Rodeo taking place this weekend at the Sandhills Global Event Center.
The UNL College Rodeo will take place May 3 & 4th and bring more than a dozen teams and hundreds of fans to the capital city. This weekend’s rodeo is the final rodeo of the regular season for athletes in the Great Plains Region, meaning that this rodeo is the last chance for many athletes to qualify for the College National Finals Rodeo.
The top three athletes in the year-end standings will punch their ticket to the CNFR in Casper, Wyoming, this June.

Friday, May 3rd – 7pm | College Night
Saturday, May 4th – 1pm | Kids Day
