Ranch Rodeo Entries Set New Record
January 24, 2012
The Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo is pleased to announce that the Ranch Rodeo has set a new record for team entries with sixty teams entering the 2012 contest. The 240 team members represent nine states. This surpasses the 2011 event that drew fifty-three teams from eight states. “The popularity of this event continues to push the seating capacity of the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center to its limits”, said event chair Kevin Schmidt. “There is not a bad seat in the house and this year they will be hanging from the rafters!” he said.
The sixty team format requires an elimination round starting at 9 am on Tuesday, January 31. The sixty teams will compete for event money during the day and the chance to be one of the top twelve teams to advance to the finals at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available for either performance.
The total prize package will be over $20,000 with cash and prizes. The Crew Crop Insurance team from Philip won the event in 2011 and will return to defend their title. “Bragging rights is just about as important as any prize money on this deal,” said Schmidt. You can bet you will see the best wranglers and cowboys at this year’s event.
