Abbyville Frontier Days & PRCA Rodeo: Tradition, Thrills, & Small-Town Spirit

Reno County At It's Best!

Tucked away in the heart of South Central Kansas, the Abbyville Frontier Days & PRCA Rodeo is a shining example of rural tradition, community spirit, and world-class rodeo action. The rodeo was named the 2022 PRCA Small Rodeo of the Year and in 2024, they were named the Prairie Circuit Small Rodeo of the Year. And the community comes together to feature the best homemade pie and barbeque around!
