The Ellensburg Rodeo Top Hands is an all-volunteer group consisting of 25-members. The Top Hands also strive to give back to the community through volunteerism.

The Ellensburg Rodeo Top Hands Association formed an all-volunteer group called the “Top Hands” in 1988. This group consisted of 25 members hand selected from diverse backgrounds, talents, and skills. Today, the Top Hands have only two of the original members remaining in their group. Their mission is to support the Directors of the Ellensburg Rodeo Board in successfully putting together the Ellensburg Rodeo and all associated Labor Day Weekend events.

The Top Hands met last week for our annual elections and our annual awards as part of our October monthly meeting. Scott Bosman ended an incredible two years as President that oversaw the 2025 and 2026 rodeo seasons as well as the complete destruction and rebuild of the west and northwest side of the rodeo arena. Jeff Shewell will transition from his previously held VP role into the role of President. Anyone interested in joining the Top Hands can DM the Top Hands FB page or visit the Ellensburg Rodeo webpage.
