Manhattan's Kaw Valley Rodeo Association

We had 154 pounds of food for the Flint Hills Breakfast Basket. Thanks you everyone that attended last night and donated!

Performance starts at 8 pm!

We’ve raised nearly $15,000 over the last two years for the Johnson Cancer Research Center and need more help this weekend as we Pass the Boots all three nights of the rodeo — including Pink Night on Friday. We kick it off tonight with the help of the K-State women’s basketball team passing our pink boots through the crowd.

Thursday night is Kids Night at the Kaw Valley Rodeo. All children 12 and under get in free with a nonperishable food item to benefit the Flint Hills Breadbasket. Rodeo begins at 8 pm.

We need volunteers to help us with the Kaw Valley Rodeo next week. See what it takes to put on Manhattan’s PRCA rodeo. Contact us through Facebook if interested.

The Kaw Valley Rodeo was proud to present a check to the K-State Johnson Cancer Research Center after raising $6,902.38 during our annual Pass the Boots campaign at the rodeo this summer.

We couldn’t have done it without the support of the Johnson Center, K-State women’s basketball, Blueville Nursery, Yee Haw Country Outfitters, Creed Construction, 1419 Mercantile, Pink Armadillo, Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, Williams Decorating and Affordable Electric.

We have raised nearly $15,000 over the last two summers.

Some of our Kaw Valley Rodeo committee members visited other rodeos around the state this past week, including the Dodge City Roundup Rodeo, Abilene’s Wild Bill Hickok Rodeo and Phillipsburg’s Kansas’ Biggest Rodeo. We love our Kansas rodeo friends!

It was one heck of a night at Wells Arena!

Buckin' around at the Kaw Valley Rodeo Wells Arena was packed on Saturday night as people herded in to see the Kaw Valley Rodeo.

It’s our final night to raise money for the Johnson Cancer Research Center at K-State. We missed out on Passing the Boots due to bad weather on Friday, so let’s get after it tonight!

Thanks to BB Fabrication, Landoll, United Rentals and the work of Kaw Valley Rodeo volunteers, we now have the use of this beautiful catwalk at Wells Arena.

We want to thank all of our awesome chute sponsors this year. We couldn’t do any of this without your support!

Gates open at 6:30pm tonight and Rodeo starts at 8:00pm.

We will have rain delay general admission tickets you scanned last night at main gate ticket booth starting at 5pm tonight. Scan reserved can be exchanged for available seat.

Thank you to everyone that stuck around for the rodeo last night, we started about 9:45. It was an abbreviated rodeo, just the rodeo event, but it was great action. Tonight, if you did not scan your general admission ticket, you can use it tonight. Look forward to seeing everyone tonight.

When the lights come on in the arena we will be 30 minutes away from rodeo!

We will rodeo tonight but no kids events tonight.

In a weather delay until further notice. We will still rodeo.

We couldn’t put on the Kaw Valley Rodeo every year without the support of our longtime presenting sponsor, Briggs Auto. Thank you for all you do to support and promote rodeo in Manhattan!

Thank you everyone that brought food items last night. We collected 132 pounds of food for the Flint Hills Breakfast. Also thank you for Miss Rodeo K-State Caitlynn Sapleford for delivering it today!

We want to thank the K-State women’s basketball team for helping us Pass the Boots for the Johnson Cancer Center Thursday night at the Kaw Valley Rodeo. Go Cats!

Join us tonight for Pink Night and our second night of Pass of the Boots.

We also want to thank our Pass the Boots sponsors — Blueville Nursery, Creed Construction, Yee Haw Country Outfitters, Pink Armadillo, Affordable Electric, 1419 Mercantile, Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Center and Williams Decorating.

It’s Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night! Braving the heat will be will worth the action you will see tonight!

We will have a
$1 water-only tent open tonight to help with lines. Cash only.

Everything gets started on Thursday night at CiCo Park!
