Rodeo set for next weekend

Body

Byrn Rodeo Productions and sponsor Triple Crown Ford are once again lighting up the City Park Arena with the annual UPRA/ CPRA sanctioned rodeo Aug. 2122, starting each night at 7:30 p.m.

Formerly under the Diamond Cross banner, the 6th annual event promises entertainment for the whole family.

The event should bring good competition and an exciting show as it reportedly drew more than 260 competitors in the 2025 event.

The rodeo promises plenty of spectacle with competitions such as bareback saddle bronc, bull riding, team roping and calf roping.

Award winning rodeo clown Chase Nolen will once again be in the ring to add to the entertainment.

As in years past, entry is free to the Friday night slack event. Entry is $15 per person on Saturday night with kids 8 and under able to get in free.

Saturday evening will begin with mutton bustin’ registration at 6 p.m. and the kids (8 and under) hitting the dirt at 7 p.m. Entry into the mutton bustin’ competition is $20 cash with cash prizes awarded to first and second place. This will follow with the rodeo at 7:30 p.m.

Saturday’s events will also once again include the calf scramble where local FFA students can win money for FFA project expenses.

Although the rodeo is no longer set around 9-11, organizers would still like to invite first responders out to the event so they can be recognized for all they do to keep us safe. This recognition will occur at the beginning of the Saturday night festivities.

No outside food or drink will be allowed but concessions will be sold on-site with food, beverage and alcohol vendors able to take credit card payments.

Byrn Rodeo produces six rodeos within a 60-mile radius of Dublin and takes pride in the support they with the help of their sponsors can provide to the future of our agriculture through supporting the FFA.
