Celebrating the Legacy of the World’s Oldest Rodeo with Events, Performances

With record-breaking rodeo attendances over the last three years and unprecedented sponsor participation, this year promises to be another triumphant showcase of world-class rodeo competition and family-oriented activities.

This year’s highlights include Beau Schueth, a national champion bullfighter who grew up in O’Neill, Nebraska; Quirt Hunt, champion bullfighter, who has been joining the Prescott rodeo for more than two decades; Rockin’ Robbie Hodges, known for his amusing acts as a rodeo clown; the Riata Ranch Cowboy Cowgirls, a fan favorite and talented ladies who master trick riding, and Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame Announcer Randy Corley, joined by Co-Announcer James Horcasitas, to highlight the eight performances. Finally, the stock contractor that makes the Prescott Rodeo go ‘round, Vold Pro Rodeo Company. Kirsten Vold and her team of pick-up men, Ty Atchison and Dalton Ward, bring the Prescott rodeo together and offer a show that continues to draw new rodeo fans and audiences to the Prescott area every Fourth of July. 

The downtown annual rodeo parade, themed “Women in Rodeo,” is set to take place at 9 a.m., Saturday, July 5, in downtown Prescott, sponsored by Barrett Propane. During the rodeo parade, we will celebrate the grand marshal honoree and many female rodeo representatives to be featured in this year’s rodeo. Join us as we celebrate the enduring spirit of Western traditions at the World’s Oldest Rodeo!
