We are proud to announce that our rodeo was selected as one of the top rodeo grounds for horse contestants by the 2018 IGRA contestants! This award comes with $750 in added money for horse events at the 2021 North Star Regional Rodeo! Yee Haw!
 
Covid-19 restrictions may affect numerous aspects of our rodeo so all information is still preliminary and subject to change. 

 
North Star hosts the rodeo up at Dead Broke Arena just outside Hugo, MN. It is about a 30 minute drive from downtown Minneapolis, we are offering a ride share service with details below for those who cannot drive.

Evening events are located at the Saloon at 9th and Hennepin in downtown Minneapolis.

People are more than welcome to camp at the arena grounds. There is no electricity or water hookups. Please reach out to info@nsgra.org for more information.

TRANSPORTATION 
 

They say in Minnsota that we have two seasons--winter and road construction. Our rodeo is not held in winter! Whether you are driving to our host hotel, the Saloon or the Dead Broke Arena in Hugo, MN, please take time to use your favorite mapping app and avoid unneccssary delays.

We crunched the numbers from 2016 and compared the price increases in providing bus service from downtown Minneapolis to the rodeo grounds and relucantly concluded that we cannot justify the expense this year. Recognizing that not everyone drives or owns a car, we would like to facilitate ride sharing. If you are willing to play chauffer/taxi driver or need a pick up, please e-mail info@nsgra.org as early as possible before rodeo weekend. We will do our best to match those needing help to those willing to help. Some drivers may choose to serve a particular area or offer a pick up by a particular landmak and will expect the rider to meet them there. NSGRA is simply playing match maker and cannot guarentee a ride. Riders will need to return with their driver unless they find someone at the rodeo to get them back.
