PRCA Rodeo – Lyon County Fair

The Rodeo is scheduled for Thursday, August 11 and Friday, August 12 at 7:00 pm.

As a proud host of the PRCA Rodeo for the past 25 years, the Lyon County Fair has become a popular stop for over 200 contestants a year to compete as they work to win a spot in the circuit or national finals. Our rodeo features Bareback Riding, Saddle Broncs, Tie Down Roping, Team Roping, Steer Wrestling, Barrel Racing and Bull Riding. The kids aren’t left out as we do the Boot Scramble both nights. Working with the Barnes Pro Rodeo for the last 25 years, we have forged a strong bond and developed into a top rate rodeo that the fans have come to expect and enjoy. This rodeo has twice been recognized by the WPRA as the most improved arena of the year.

An added feature of our rodeo is our Tough Enough TO Wear Pink Night which is always held on Friday night. We hold a live auction during the rodeo to raise money for our local TETWP partner – to date we have raised nearly $30,000.

You don’t want to miss this year’s Rodeo and a chance to be close to all the non-stop action!
