Legend of Rawhide

The Legend of Rawhide is an annual celebration of the history, legend, and Western heritage of Niobra

The Legend of Rawhide is an annual celebration of the legend, and Western heritage of Niobrara County. The Legend of Rawhide is a community performance in the truest sense of the word. Each year residents of Niobrara County and surrounding communities volunteer their time, energy, and determination in service of the Legend of Rawhide pageant. The Legend of Rawhide is not only what you see in the p

erformances, but rather numerous people behind the scenes. The Legend of Rawhide with cast and crew have over 400 contributing volunteers making this production possible annually. Without their support and love for the Legend of Rawhide and the aspect of our heritage it represents this production would not be possible.
