Classes and Entry Fees are as follows: $8 per class, Grounds Fee $10/horse - (Not required w/stall), $25/day camper or trailer hookup, Stalls $40/day OR $70/weekend (includes 2 bags of shavings), Tack Stalls $25/stall, Extra Shavings $5/bag.

Top cowboys and cowgirls compete in IPRA sanctioned rodeo in bronc riding, steer wrestling, bull riding, barrel racing, team roping, and calf roping. Additional entertainment will be the One Arm Bandit John S. Payne. A popular rodeo act throughout the United States , Canada and Europe . Payne performs outstanding riding exhibitions on horseback and while herding longhorn steers. Payne is one of rodeo's favorite entertainers. By the time he is done with his act, he will have his horse and a small herd of paint horses on top of his trailer. He lost an arm following an accident when 7,200 volts passed through his body for 10 seconds while he was working as an electrician. Through CPR, he lived to spread havoc across the United States , Canada and eventually the world. He had been a rodeo entertainer before the accident and quickly recovered to return to the rodeo arena. Born in Oklahoma , Payne has ranched there with his father and four older brothers while not on the rodeo circuit. Ranch life taught John to get out of the way or get run over. Great Family entertainment. Indoor arena with full service concessions and vendors with novelties, clothing, hats, jewelry, and other merchandise.
