A new record by a long shot for our little hometown rodeo. We are so thankful for all of the volunteers, attendees, guests, contractors, vendors, sponsors and so many others that make this event possible.

See you all next year!

Time for Q & A Monday! We always get asked about assigned seating and we want to let you know that it is all general seating regardless if you bought a pre-sale ticket or not.

We encourage ALL ticket holders to arrive early (especially Saturday) to get a decent parking spot and seat in the grandstands. Have questions? Let us know below!

We are a short 11 days away from kick off!

This year are excited to welcome Bella Da Costa Trick Riding to our hometown arena! Who is excited to see some trick riding?!

Are you rooting for the cowboys or the horses in bronc riding? Let us know below!

Our featured event today is Ba****ck Bronc.

There are two ways a cowboy can ride a bronc, with a saddle or without saddle. If they train without a saddle, then they use something called a "rigging" in which they use to "hopefully" stay for the eight seconds. We can't wait to see the match ups!

Here is our entry information! Please share!

We are TWO WEEKS away from the Official Kick Off Beer & Brat Party for Lost Dutchman Days.

Come join us for brats and FREE ENTERTAINMENT at the Apache Junction Elks Lodge.
