The St. Croix Valley PRCA Rodeo, brings top notch RAM Rodeo to the St. Croix County Fairgrounds, Glenwood City, June 14 & 15 with 7:30 p.m. performances once again! Gates will open at 4:30 p.m. and the performances will take place rain or shine.
No rodeo would be complete without Rodeo Royalty and this year’s St. Croix Valley PRCA Rodeo Queen is Kylee Burdick from Barron, WI. Kylee, a graduate of Rice Lake High School will be attending Chippewa Valley Tech for animal science with an emphasis on nutrition. Kylee has been active at the local, state and national levels in FFA & 4-H. Assisting Kylee is Rodeo Princess Teresa Mark from Beldenville, WI. Teressa, a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, is majoring in hospitality and golf enterprise management. Both women actively compete in a wide variety of equine disciplines.
A special feature of this year’s rodeo is the pageant for Miss Rodeo Wisconsin! Pageant events on Friday, June 14 include horsemanship at 6 p.m. Events on Saturday, June 15, include the fashion show at 2 p.m. and the coronation during the Saturday evening rodeo performance. Both the fashion show and the horsemanship contest are open to the public. Beatris Romo, Wilson, is a local candidate for Miss Rodeo Wisconsin.
In addition to the thrill of watching professional cowboys compete on the rough stock furnished by the famed Barnes Rodeo Stock Company, there are added attractions for the entire family, particularly junior wranglers which include muttin bustin’, sponsored by Bernard’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, testing the ability of junior wranglers to ride sheep. Each night, starting at 4:30, there will be a buck off for all entrants who must be 5 or older and weigh 55#s or less. The top 10 entrants in the buck off will compete in the rodeo performance. Winners of the event receive an engraved western buckle. (While helmets are provided, entrants are encouraged to bring their own bicycle or equivalent helmet.)
In addition to muttin bustin’, youth can participate in the nickel scramble and stick rodeo. Fantasy Corral is bringing their collection of exotic petting animals and, for a charge, offering pony rides. Be sure to come by 4:30 pm to take full advantage of the junior wrangler competition.
As part of the Rodeo, Trent McFarland, “Comical Barrel Man & Rodeo Clown” is the feature act. Trent, “has over 21 years of experience at entertaining crowds with his quick wit, crows interaction and high energy”.
The St. Croix County fair board and Dean LeMay, chairman of the rodeo committee, extend a warm welcome to all of our guests, in particular current and former military members who, with valid ID, receive a $2 discount at the gate. Dean wants everyone to know that the show will go on rain or shine, “nothing is more fun than watching bronc riding, steer wrestling & bull riding in the mud!”
