A presentation of the Nevada Historical Society, High Noon with Neal Cobb is a monthly history series that delves into Nevada topics with local experts. Neal Cobb is a passionate historian and honorary curator for the Nevada Historical Society. Each month he is joined by a different guest presenter.

Artist brothers Erik and Mikey Burke were commissioned by the Reno Rodeo to paint 1,800-foot mural timelines of the history of the Reno Rodeo. The mural surrounds the Reno Livestock fairgrounds to commemorate the 100 years of the Reno Rodeo Association.

Neal Cobb is a Reno native, and was involved in his family’s business, Modern Photo.

He has worked closely representing the Nevada Historical Society, having presented over 500 programs in Northern Nevada since 1988.
