The Military Appreciation is recognized at the Friday evening performance of the Wisconsin River Pro Rodeo in Merrill at the festival grounds. The Never Forgotten Honor Flight is a nonprofit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices by flying them to Washington, D.C. to reflect at their memorials. The Lincoln County Rodeo Association Inc. and Brickner’s Park City’s contributions assisted five area veterans in making the trip to Washington D.C. to visit the memorial. The 31st Year of the Wisconsin River Pro Rodeo will be in 2020 on June 12th-14th at the Merrill Festival Grounds.
Donations to local Groups and Causes
Pictured in the following gallery are check presentations to some of the groups who help us put on the Wisconsin River Pro Rodeo. Without their hard work, along with the work of our committee, the rodeo wouldn’t be possible.
We also donate to other groups and civic organizations by donating our time and efforts to their causes. We are a 100% not for profit organization, and all volunteer.
