The Rock-Nobles Cattlemen’s Association will host the 2021 Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association Summer Beef Tour & Trade Show on Tuesday, July 13. Rock and Nobles counties are located in extreme southwest Minnesota along the Buffalo Ridge, the wind corridor of the upper Midwest, with the largest towns in the counties being Worthington (Nobles) and Luverne (Rock). The trade show and tour headquarters will span the spacious and well-equipped Worthington Arena. The arena is located on the Nobles County Fairgrounds, just off of Interstate 90 near U.S. 59 and Minnesota 60.

The tour begins in Worthington, with several lodging accommodations, including a beautiful campsite on the shoreline of Lake Okabena. Learn more about Worthington at www.worthingtonmnchamber.com. Luverne and Rock County are home to the historic Blue Mounds State Park and the Brandenburg Art Gallery, which displays the work of native son and noted wildlife photographer Jim Brandenburg.
