About Us

SinceĀ 1921, Burwell, Nebraska has hosted Nebraska’s Big Rodeo and is often dubbed “the Outdoor Rodeo Capital of Nebraska.” With its long tradition of rodeo and western life style it’s only natural Burwell would be home to a full line western wear and tack store – Dry Creek Western Wear.

Dry Creek opened its door in April 1993 and has continued to offer a full line of western wear and tack, serving the needs of a rural community. Owner/Manager Jodee Bolli agrees Dry Creek’s number one priority is customer service. “We have expanded and include internet sales, but our number one priority will always be customer service,” Jodee says. “We encourage visitors in both the Burwell store and our internet store.”

Our Store

Dry Creek Western Wear offers a full line of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing as well as a full line of tack and supplies. Boots and hats line the walls. Jewelry cases are filled with Montana Silversmith and the front of the store is packed with unique western gift ideas. Dry Creek offers a full line of the ‘die hard cowboy stuff’ – products used and worn by the people who live this life style everyday as well as casual dress clothes.

One of the unique features is the saddle shop in the back of the building. County Line Saddle shop offers a perfect fit. Owners Dale and Peg Prickett can custom make anything out of leather – from chaps to bridle reins to head stalls.
