COMPETITIONS—RANCH RODEO

Adequan Ranch Rodeo Friday 7:00pm w Saturday 7:00pm TPEC Arena

Don’t miss the ever-popular Adequan Ranch Rodeo Friday and Saturday nights at EquiFest. The competition is tough and exciting. Teams compete for prizes and bragging rights for who is BEST at what they do every day. This gives spectators an insight into the life of the ranch worker and some of the daily duties from roping, riding, and working as a team to bring home the beef! Grandstands fill up and t eams are different each day, so grab a seat early and enjoy the pre-event festivities. Watch for Kansas Rodeo Royalty who will be selling raffle tickets in the stands as a benefit for the Kansas Horse Council Foundation Scholarship Program. Get your tickets for a chance to win half the sum and know you are also supporting youth involved in the horse community who are heading to college!
