Caldwell Night Rodeo History

The event began 83 years ago in 1935 as one of the celebrations commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Boise Irrigation Project. The community installed lights on the fair grounds and the first night rodeo was born. Since that time, the CNR has become an annual event, which draws more guests each year. The PRCA welcomes 600 world-class cowboys and cowgirls to the event. All hope to see All Around Champion Paul David Tierney, Bull Riding Champion Jeff Askey and Barrel Riding Champion Sherry Cervi competing in 2017.

On Friday, all pay tribute to the military during Patriot Night, which includes a flyover by the Warhawk Air Museum and the auction of an autographed flag.
