The 28th Annual PRCA Stampede Rodeo, Just One Week Away

The 28th Annual PRCA Stampede Rodeo, hosted by the Athens Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by
Elder Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep, is now just one week away.

The annual event will begin on Friday night, April 26th and will run through Saturday, April 27th.  Gates open at 5 p.m. and the rodeo will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Henderson County Regional Fair Park Complex. This year's rodeo promises to be one of the most exciting yet!

Contestants will compete in team roping, barrel racing, calf roping and bull riding. There will also be a 21 and older women's calf scramble with cash prizes.

The kids will not only enjoy watching the rodeo but will also have an opportunity to play at the inflatable carnival. Be sure and stop by and visit with local vendors at the rodeo.

Tickets are $5 for children 12 and under, $10 pre-sold for adults and $12 at the door. Tickets are available at the Athens Chamber of Commerce, Lone Star Western Wear, Cavendar's, Citizen's National Bank, and First State Bank.
