CMR Stampede PRCA Rodeo

A Warm Western Welcome... To All the fans of Stanford's 56th Annual C.M. Russell Stampede!

On Sunday, take in the PRCA Rodeo Action, Mutton Busting, NFR Raffle and a Gun Raffle too!

For many, the rodeo cowboy seems like the embodiment of a fading American dream of stamina and independence. While that may be partially true, to the cowboys and cowgirls who compete, rodeo is a lifestyle too. It offers them the same measure of heartbreak and reward. Enjoy the rodeo and the spirit of freedom and challenge it represents.
