For the 11th straight year, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) ProRodeo and Women’s Pro Rodeo Association (WPRA) stampede into the Garfield County Fair & Rodeo. The rodeo night is sponsored by Coors, an official national sponsor of the PRCA, and Western Slope Communications. The PRCA, which is the oldest professional rodeo-sanctioning body in the world, is also continuing its tradition of honoring American veterans at the event. On tap are roughstock events, including bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding, as well as timed events, such as steer wrestling, team roping and tie-down roping – the contestant’s goal is to post the fastest time in their event. The WPRA presents high-flying action with barrel racing. Official Wrangler Network website-|
