It’s been a labor of love for family and friends as they converted the former Hartford School football field into a rodeo arena in honor of their son, grandson, brother, and friend.
The nearly completed arena embodies the spirit of Newt Hodge, who according to his mother, loved Hartford and lived for the rodeo. The young cowboy will be forever memorialized in the hearts of those who cherish his memory through the legacy of the “Newt Hodge Arena” in Hartford.
As the finishing touches are being made, plans are underway to christen the arena with an inaugural event planned for July 2 and 3, with grand entry at 8 p.m.
Everyone is invited to come out and enjoy fun for the entire family at the Newt Hodge Arena, located at 700 Ludlow Avenue in Hartford.
