St. Francois County PRCA Rodeo Celebrates 15 Years of Action-Packed Tradition

PRCA Celebrates 90th Anniversary Nationwide

FARMINGTON, Mo. — Dust off your boots and grab your hats because the St. Francois County PRCA Rodeo, powered by Cole’s Tractor & Equipment Inc., is back and bigger than ever.

This year marks a major milestone: 15 years of rodeo tradition locally sanctioned by the PRCA, alongside the 90th Anniversary of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). The celebration is set to be nothing short of legendary.

Advanced tickets are on sale now at FarmingtonMORodeo.com, and fans are encouraged to “get ahead of the herd” to save money and skip the lines. Guests who bring 3 canned goods for the local food pantry will receive a free beverage ticket!

Each evening promises a full lineup of family-friendly fun and heart-pounding rodeo action. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., giving guests time to explore a lively vendor area filled with food, drinks, and shopping — so come hungry. A professional cowboy hatter will also be on-site for all your cowboy and cowgirl hat needs.

Kids can join in the excitement early with FREE kids games at 6:30 p.m. nightly, where winners will rope in coveted champion buckles. Then at 7:30 p.m., the main event begins as top PRCA cowboys, cowgirls, and animal athletes take center stage for an unforgettable night of competition.

A highlight of the event includes Military Appreciation and Veterans Night, proudly presented by First State Community Bank, honoring those who have served with special recognition and ticket discounts. Military Appreciation and Veterans Night takes place during the Friday, May 22 performance.
