Congratulations to Bob Tallman, the voice of pro rodeo and a true Nevada original, on being named a 2026 Vegas NFR Icon at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

For more than five decades, Bob has brought the sport to life with his storytelling, passion, and presence behind the mic. Shaping generations of rodeo fans and competitors alike.

Come December 5, the dirt of the Thomas & Mack Center will tell his story as his banner is raised and his legacy cemented.

From all of us at Reno Rodeo — congratulations, Bob. The voice of rodeo, forever part of its history.
