PRETTY PRAIRIE, Kan. — The annual Pretty Prairie Rodeo is set to kick off its four-day run on Wednesday, July 15-18.
The livestock from the Beutler and Son Rodeo Company returns to Pretty Prairie. Recognized for providing some of the toughest broncs and bulls in the business over the past 70 years. Facing off against the livestock will be some of the top talent in the region and across the United States, as cowboys and cowgirls compete to earn points to qualify for the WNFR.
Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame announcer Randy Corley, voted PRCA announcer of the year on multiple occasions, returns to Pretty Prairie to call the action.
Entertainment will be provided by trick rider and clown John Harrison, who has made seven appearances at the WNFR and is a three-time recipient of the PRCA Comedy Act of the Year. He will be joined in the arena by bullfighters Evan Allard and Wacey Munsell, both familiar faces in Pretty Prairie. A dance will follow the Friday and Saturday performances, featuring the music of Prairie Smoke. Admission to the dance is free with a rodeo ticket.
Tickets are on sale now. All tickets will be handled on a general admission basis on Wednesday and Thursday, while they will be reserved seats on Friday and Saturday. Tickets can be purchased in advance, and doing so is encouraged to avoid lines at the ticket booths.
Concessions will be available.
