You'll love the fun-filled, family atmosphere of Kansas' Largest Night Rodeo every July. Famous for it's special blend of entertainment and professional competition, the rodeo attracts over 250 top professional cowboys in the nation and 20,000 spectators annually. The centerpiece of downtown is the historic Civic Theater . Orginally opening in 1936, it reopened in 1981 to feature classic movies and the "Our Gang" series.
Carl Switzer, the actor who played 'Alfalfa', lived in Pretty Prairie as an adult in the late 1950's. The curtain drop and the wooden seats are like a time machine that takes you and your family back to the good old days. The theater seats 200 and is a popular site for private parties and dinner theaters in conjunction with our two great restaurants. The links at Pretty Prairie is a challenging 9-hole, links-style course. The bluegrass fairways and bentgrass greens are fully irrigated and bordered with native tall grasses. Located at the southwest corner of town, all access roads are paved and it is open to the public seven days a week. Pretty Prairie--like most small towns--is busy with youth activities and ball games, scouting and church activities. At the hub of it all is our school, with an impressive pupil/teacher ratio of 10 to 1.
