Nearly Half Century of Rodeo Work Leaves Artist Enthusiasm Untimmed
Art Fritcher has spent 47 years in rodeo, producing events across Nebraska and Missouri. He opens with the Henderson firefighters rodeo on July 23 at Henderson and continues through August and September. Now assisted by his grandson Steve Talkington, he contracts stock, tunes acts, and ensures a fast, smooth show while riding in the opening parade. Art still enjoys the work as much as ever.
