Have you ever wanted to go to an old fashioned rodeo? Well Nampa is host to one of the top 10 professional rodeos in the United States. It has history going back to 1911. It started as a harvest festival. We of the Treasure Valley know that we live in the wild wooly west. Cowboy boots and cowboy hats are always appropriate. A politician who wants to prove that he or she is one of the people will wear these items. Forget the three piece suit you are in IDAHO. Some of us are actually city folk (like me) but a good rodeo is fun. From mutton busting to bucking broncos it is found in Nampa this week. The whole town celebrates. These are the real cowboys and rodeo stars. No rhinestone cowboys here. There is a buck a roo breakfast. A parade that happened on Saturday. Come and get a taste of the old west.
Schedule of Events
The wildest, fastest show on Earth! Our 101st anniversary rodeo takes place July 19-23, 2016 at the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa, Idaho.
