Diamond J Rodeo Delivers a Night of Action at the 175th Ashland County Fair
ASHLAND, Ohio — The cool fall breeze had competition Wednesday night. Inside the arena, Diamond J Rodeo brought the speed, skill and suspense that had fairgoers following every ride and run.
The rodeo began at 7 p.m. Sept. 23 as part of the 175th Ashland County Fair. It was a fast-paced, well-run evening of family entertainment and Diamond J’s fourth consecutive year at the fair, following appearances in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The program gave the crowd a full range of rodeo competition: bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping, cowgirl barrel racing and cowgirl breakaway roping. From roughstock rides to timed events, the action kept moving throughout the night.
Wednesday’s show added another memorable night to a fair week that had featured country artist Gary Allan at the grandstand on Tuesday. For families watching together, Diamond J Rodeo delivered an exciting Ashland County Fair tradition with plenty to cheer about.
There is more grandstand action ahead. Motocross is scheduled for tonight, Thursday, Sept. 24, at 6 p.m., and the demolition derby is set for Saturday, Sept. 26, at 6 p.m.
