For those of you attending the rally next summer you may just need to decide if you want to stop by Newell, South Dakota and get some gear with the Newell name on it or just take a pic by the city sign. Did any of you know there was such a place?? They purport to be the sheep capital of the nation. That reminds me of a joke they tell out West River when making fun of their neighbors in Wyoming.
"The three biggest lies in Wyoming: 1. My pickup is paid for 2. I won this belt buckle in the rodeo... and last but not least 3. I was helping that sheep through the fence...it was not what you think you saw"

Ok not too good but also not too Baaaaad (sound of a sheep)

Make plans to celebrate Labor Day in Newell, where dancing begins the festivities on Saturday evening, then on Sunday view an art, quilt, car & tractor show, band concert and tractor pull then stay over for Monday's celebration; parade, street sports and amateur rodeo featuring the National Championship Sheep Teepeeing Finals.



Because Newell is the Nation's Sheep Capitol, the Annual Ram Show & Sale is held the second week in September, watch 1,000's of head of sheep bought and sold in one day.
