A lucrative sum of prize money will be up for grabs. These cowboys and cowgirls will make their way through seven challenging PRCA show events:

Bareback Riding, Tie-Down roping, Saddle Bronc Riding, Team Roping, Barrel Racing, Steer Wrestling, and Bull Riding.

PRCA President John Barnes assured the crowd a fun, one-of-a-kind show with specialty acts, including hands-free voice commands by cowboy Jerry Olson.  Barnes says, “We haven’t done the same thing yet, and we’re not going to.”
