Northern Rodeo Association moves finals to Butte

BUTTE — The Northern Rodeo Association Finals are moving to Butte after 36 years in Billings.

The Butte Civic Center will host the rodeo finals starting Sept. 29.

Bill Fisher, a promoter for Butte events, tells the Montana Standard that organizers have tried for a couple of years to get the finals moved.

NRA president Tyler Holland said this spring's pitch sold him and the NRA directors on Butte.

The NRA puts on more than 30 rodeos in Montana each season.
