Nebraska's Big Rodeo & Garfield County Fair

The Chuckwagon Races return to Burwell for the 104th Annual Nebraska’s Big Rodeo!
 
The man in charge of this year’s Chuckwagon racers, Reed Rosencrans, has been racing all across Canada for 38 years now. Reed started in chariots when he was 13 years old and moved up to the chuckwagons by the time he turned 17. Reed is a second-generation wagon racer as his father did it prior to his starting. Reed has won shows all over Canada including 3 time (2018,2019,2022) champion of the North American Chuckwagon Championship in Red Deer, Alberta and also the aggregate champion at the Ponoka Stampede in 2022. Also, the first American wagon driver to compete at the Ponoka Stampede in Ponoka Alberta. In 2018 Reed got his PRCA specialty act and started bringing his Circle 7 wagons to rodeos across the United States including Houston, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Greeley CO, Redding and Salinas CA, Salt Lake City, Lehi and Coalville, Ut to name a few. Wife Kim and 3 daughters Hannah, Paige and Leah will also be along for the ride in Burwell this year.
