​

​​​​When entering please note, not everyone can have Monday, we are limited to 10 entries in all events per day.  Preference for Monday will only be given to anyone in the LRA finals.  Please be mindful of this when entering that.  When entering please put a comment in if you are competing in the LRA Finals.

 

Roughstock Contestants (steer riders especially) please note by Picking Monday/Or Out, you may get drawn out, there is no guarantee you will get your preference of Monday as we are limited to 10 entries per day. 

​

As an association, our job is to put together a program for the committees. For example, if we have 40 out of 50 contestants in a single event, all ask for the same performance, this is not possible. We need to break up that number to fill all of the spots in the rodeo performances. Please understand that we simply can not give everyone their first preference. We are doing our best to help the committees put on the best rodeo for their community. Thank you for your understanding
