Join us for a weekend of fun! The Maverick Club Rodeo is a great time for young and old—experienced cowboys and those who have never attended a rodeo event before.   All events take place at the Maverick Rodeo Grounds unless otherwise noted.  There is a town parade before the rodeo along Highway 64 starting at 9am.

Join us as we gather to celebrate Jesus!  Sponsored by the First Baptist Church of Cimarron, this event will feature music from not only RW, but also Rick Brittain, Gayanne Jeffers, Tim Farmer and Tommy Kear.  Short inspirational messages will be offered throughout afternoon by Pastor Jeff Ogata.  We’ll have a bounce House for children along with snow cones, cotton candy, pop corn and Frito Chili Pie!

Take a step back in history nearly two centuries and walk upon the site where history was made, where the man became a legend, as we celebrate Hugh Glass Rendezvous in the banks of the Grand River and Shadehill Reservoir, at Hugh Glass Park.

The event will include the primitive mountain man rendezvous camp, unique black powder shoots, hawk throws and primitive archery, a prairie church service and extraordinary bicentennial youth day. Experience Lemmon’s local history first-hand through special presentations, speakers, and musical entertainment.

Join us as we remember the amazing story of Hugh Glass and his trek back to civilization 200 years later. With the wealth of local history in Western South Dakota and the release of Hollywood’s take on Glass with Alejandro Iñárritu’s critically acclaimed The Revenant starring Leonardo DiCaprio, there’s no better time to take a trip into the past.

The Hugh Glass Rendezvous’ goal is to recognize those early frontiersman that contributed to the rich history in NW SD; especially the life and tragedy which Hugh Glass faced after being attacked by a grizzly bear.

RW will be on hand to celebrate the 15th year of this wonderful, annual art show. RW will be joining the folks at AQHA for opening night of the event, which runs until Oct. 14th.
