🤠 RODEO 101: What is a PRCA Rodeo?

PRCA stands for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, which is the largest and most prestigious rodeo organization in the world.

When you attend a PRCA rodeo, you're watching professional cowboys and cowgirls compete for prize money, championship points, and a chance to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), the "Super Bowl of Rodeo."

Events include:
🐂 Bull Riding
🐎 Ba****ck Riding
🐎 Saddle Bronc Riding
🤠 Steer Wrestling
🐄 Tie-Down Roping
🐂 Team Roping
🐮 Breakaway Roping
👑 Barrel Racing

The Wapello Pro Rodeo is proud to be a PRCA-sanctioned event, bringing top-tier rodeo action and some of the best athletes in the sport right here to Southeast Iowa.

The Wapello Pro Rodeo is more than an exciting weekend of rodeo action. It's a celebration of the hardworking students of the Wapello FFA Chapter who make it all possible.

For more than 40 years, Wapello FFA members have planned, organized, and operated one of the most unique rodeos in the country. In fact, the Wapello Pro Rodeo is the only PRCA rodeo in the nation produced by an FFA chapter. From working with sponsors to preparing the grounds and welcoming tons of fans, these students gain valuable leadership experience while supporting scholarships and opportunities for future FFA members.

When you attend the Wapello Pro Rodeo, you're supporting a tradition built by students and investing in the next generation of agricultural leaders.

Join us July 17–18 and see firsthand what makes the Wapello Pro Rodeo so special. 🤠💙💛
