Spooner Rodeo

Tradition is important to Spooner's Heart of the North Rodeo fans, but something new helps to keep the fun level high for everyone on both sides of the arena fences.

The thrills, spills and chills of great rodeo action just don't get any better than what you'll see at Spooner this year. When professional rodeo's most determined competitors take on the clock or go up against the equally tough and rowdy critters from the Barnes Rodeo Company, just get ready to cheer. You're at Spooner Rodeo, and this is where great action happens! Every year, all seven exciting events – saddle bronc, steer wrestling, tie-down roping, bareback bronc, barrel racing, team roping, and bull riding.

And remember there are always lots of extras for the fans. Each evening you can shop at the various vendors set up outside the arena or grab a snack from the food sellers, too. On Thursday evening, come early to cheer for the special kids who participate in the very popular Exceptional Rodeo. Come early Friday and Saturday nights and get in on the youth activity a chance for kids to have fun and win prizes. Every night, right after the rodeo ends, stick around to dance and listen to the great country music. You'll be glad you did.

Of course, everyone wants to see the huge Spooner Rodeo Parade that starts at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 9, so don't be late, grab a spot and settle in for the fun. Head down to the Rodeo Grounds right afterward to enjoy the Lions Club BBQ. Sunday there is the breakfast at 7 a.m. followed by the Cowboy Church Service at 9 a.m. at the Rodeo Grounds.

We look forward to seeing you here at Spooner Rodeo on July 7-9, 2011.

Barnes PRCA Rodeo Co. & MJM Rodeo

The name Barnes means quality rodeo

Top Professional Rodeo quality, fun, and excitement is back for the 56^th time in the Spooner Rodeo Arena. That is a guarantee when Barnes PRCA Rodeo Company is involved. And when it comes to rodeo, the whole Barnes family – now three generations worth – is involved. For every month, every week, every day of every year, rodeo is their life, their love, their livelihood.

Ask any member of the Barnes family, and they will tell you, "Entertaining rodeo fans nationwide is the biggest thrill a family could ever ask for."

And they share their love of professional rodeo with fans all around the United States every year, staging upwards of 100 rodeo performances from way down south to way out west, from Florida and Georgia to New York, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, here in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, their home state of Iowa, and, of course, their record-setting participation in the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV, too.

They kicked off 2009 close to their Cherokee/Peterson, IA, home with the Barnes National Bull Riding Challenge & Stock Yards Heritage Days at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, Iowa. A special feature of that event was Stockyards Heritage Days All Breed Beef Cattle Seedstock Sale.

A highlight of 2008 was when five Barnes Rodeo saddle broncs, 334 Little Stone, D8 Cat Power, 2Y1 Tooke Scott, 1G9 Chain of Command, and 2D9 Edmonton, and two bareback broncs, N5 Dodge Hills and G Garzon, were chosen to compete at Pro Rodeo Tour, held September 25-27, 2008, at the Qwest Center in Omaha, NE.

Barnes Rodeo means the best there is in Professional Rodeo, and Spooner Rodeo is very pleased and proud to continue its association with Bob Barnes and family – together every year since the beginning of Spooner Rodeo back in 1954.
