Tucson Rodeo Grounds
...........................
The Tucson Rodeo features five days of competition with the top 12 athletes in each event competing in a final performance on Sunday. The final performance is part of the PRCA ProRodeo Tour and will be televised in March on Outdoor Life Network (OLN) cable network.

Current and former world champions are featured throughout the five-day Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) event. “The entry list for Tucson could be the ‘Who’s Who’ of pro rodeo,” boasts Gary Williams, general manager of the Tucson Rodeo. “In addition to the caliber of competition and the prize money, cowboys look forward to Tucson because the fans are great and the sky is blue. This is the first major outdoor rodeo of the year, so they’re ready for sunshine, fresh air and 11,000 fans cheering them on,” adds Williams.

The professional rodeo enlists about 700 contestants from the United States and Canada competing for more than $275,000 in prize money. The Tucson Rodeo, the first major outdoor event on the PRCA schedule, gives visitors an opportunity to see real-life cowboys and cowgirls display their ability in the only sport in the world developed from work skills.

The Rodeo events include bull riding, bareback and saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, calf roping, team roping and women’s barrel racing. Also featured each day is Dodge Mutton Bustin’, when four-to six-year-olds test their riding skills on sheep, and the Justin Junior Rodeo for young cowpokes ages 5-12.

 Featured entertainment includes clown and barrelman Ted Kimzey on Feb. 21 and 22 and five-time PRCA Clown of the Year, Flint Rasmussen on Feb. 26-29. 2004 marks Rasmussen’s fifth consecutive Tucson appearance.

Tucson Rodeo Grounds
Beginning in 2004, La Fiesta de los Vaqueros grows to a nine-day event centered on the Tucson Rodeo, one of the top 20 professional rodeo events in North America. The event is Feb. 21-29 at the Tucson Rodeo Grounds, 4823 S. 6th Ave. Related activities include the renowned Tucson Rodeo Parade, the premiere of the Tucson Bull Riding and Concert, and the Mike Cervi Jr. Memorial Team Roping.

For the first time, the event kicks off with a PRCA-sanctioned bull riding competition, followed by the Honky Tonk Tailgate Party featuring country recording artists Rhett Akins, David Kersh, Daryle Singletary and Chad Brock. Tickets for the bull riding and concert are $25 general admission, $30 for box seats.

Also new for 2004, the first performance of the Tucson moves from its original Wednesday date to the Sunday prior. This performance replaces the Women’s Championship Rodeo, held from 1999-2003. The new date of Sunday, Feb. 22 offers fans an additional weekend day to attend this annual tradition.

(No service charges) La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros Leighton Kramer conceived the idea of La Fiesta de los Vaqueros in order to draw visitors to Tucson during the slow mid-winter season.  The event intended to provide visitors to Tucson with a taste of the cowboy lifestyle and glamorize Wild West notoriety.  The event was mainly a glorious reminder of yesterday. Tourists and locals alike enjoyed a rip-roaring time at the Rodeo Dance the night before the first Tucson Rodeo.  The Rodeo itself featured four events: steer wrestling, steer typing, calf roping, and saddle bronc riding. La Fiesta de los Vaqueros continued to grow and today The Tucson Rodeo is one of the top 20 professional rodeo events in North America, with prize purses in excess of $275,000.  The local citizens have adapted La Fiesta de los Vaqueros as an honored tradition.  Area schools close on Thursday and Friday of Rodeo Week and the Rodeo Parade is now viewed by over 200,000 spectators.
