GREAT NORTHERN CLASSIC RODEO INC

We are a non-profit, all-volunteer organization. Our first rodeo performance was hosted in 1991 in Duluth, Minnesota. Two years later, the GNCR moved across the bridge to Superior, Wisconsin and has made the Head of the Lakes Fairgrounds their home ever since.

In addition to entertaining families with action-packed fun, we raise money to donate to local clubs and charities. Some of the clubs and charities we have donated to over the years include North Country Ride, local 4-H clubs, Boys and Girls Clubs of Superior, and Horse Spirit. Each year we also participate in the "Rockin' the Bronc" campaign and Friday night is the night to be in the "Pink". The money we raise through this campaign goes to the local Breast Cancer Fund.

On Sunday morning after church service we offer an indoor miracle rodeo. This miracle rodeo accommodates children and adults of all ages with physical or developmental disabilities by offering rodeo-related events such as barrel racing with stick horses, a meet and greet with the rodeo clown, and other fun activities hosted by GNCR drill team. All contestants also receive food and great prizes. Over the years, we have hosted a variety of other family fun events. Examples include the NBHA-06 Barrel Run for Western Wishes, Cowboy Open Classic Golf Tournament, 5k walk run, craft show, and on-site rodeo dance/concert.
