Annual events in Eddyville
Annual events include a wild game feed in January featuring wild turkey, deer, elk and Canadian fish, harvested by local hunters both in Nebraska and abroad, and in February there is a community pancake feed.
The Eddyville Trail Riders will host their 40th annual rodeo the third weekend in June. The rodeo is approved by the Nebraska State Rodeo Association and the Mid-States Rodeo Association. Rodeo president is Paul Rieker. Two nights of performances are followed by dancing. It’s the orneriest little rodeo in the valley.
Eddyville is the home of the famous “Buzzard’s Roost,” a deep, long canyon about one mile north of Eddyville. The Buzzard’s Roost was originally about 2,520 acres in Custer County owned by John B. Colton. One canyon has a large cave that reportedly was a haven for rustlers and robbers.
You can still enjoy the scenery of the Roost by participating in the annual spring and fall Trail Rides through Buzzard’s Roost. The spring ride is usually in May, while the fall ride set for September.
A sack lunch at Buzzard’s Roost provides a nice break before the riders return to town for a barbecue. For those not wishing to ride a horse, horse-drawn racks will be available.
Wrapping up the year is the “Soup and Santa” activity in December. Proceeds are used to help maintain the community’s holiday decorations.
