The Nebraska High School Finals Rodeo will be moving to Garfield County beginning next year.
Jess Helgoth, president of the Nebraska's Big Rodeo board of directors, told NTV News the contract is for two years, and they hope to keep it even longer.
Helgoth said buzz over Burwell hosting the big event started in 2020 when the High School Finals Rodeo was moved out of Hastings due to COVID-19 concerns.
While news is just now getting out today about the move, we're told the deal has been in place for roughly six months.

Next year's event is slated to begin June 8, 2023.
