The Fallon High School Rodeo Club ended its fall season Nov. 18 and 19 in Las Vegas during the Nevada State High School Rodeo.

The rodeo went well with most Fallon contestants consistently placing in the top 5.

According to Cari Norcutt, the Grant Entry included a tribute to the recent shooting in Las Vegas. To show their support, all contestants wore blue Sunday.

This was the last high school/junior high rodeo of 2017. The spring rodeo season kicks off Feb. 10-11 in Boulder City.

Fallon High School Rodeo Club will be holding its annual fundraiser Jan. 20. The club will host a dinner and auction at the Fallon Convention Center.
