Get Ready to Cowboy Up at the Four States Fair Rodeo April 6-8

Saddle Bronc Riding

Calf Roping

This has been a cowboy tradition for a long time originally practiced by ranch hands who were out in the field with only a rope and their horse they would catch the calves for branding and doctoring. TV Shows like Yellowstone have made the cowboy way popular.

Barrel Racing

This rodeo event features a horse and its rider running a cloverleaf pattern around preset barrels, this is all about who can ride the fastest to complete the course. Barrel Racing competition pays some pretty big money too.

Bull Riding

This is always a fan favorite of the rodeo because let's just face it, bulls do not like to be ridden and that's no BS. The meaner the bull the harder to ride it takes some really tough cowboys to put their life on the line to attempt to ride the bull for 8 seconds. This is when you Cowboy up!
