Lost Dutchman Days Rodeo

February 26th - March 1, 2009

The rodeo held at the Apache Junction Rodeo Park at Lost Dutchman & Tomahawk is a full 8 event Rodeo, with professional cowboys and cowgirls competing for $30,000 in prize money beginning at 1:30 P. M. each day. The classic 8 Events include, Bareback, Calf Roping, Saddlebronc, Steer Wrestling, Ladies Breakaway Roping, Barrel Racing, Team Roping and the crowd favorite of Bull Riding. This Rodeo Event is considered one of the finest in the Southwest and is on most contestants list as one they want to enter. The Rodeo annually gets 400 plus entries, enough so that we have to run all the team roping one day earlier on Thursday, Feb. 26th and includes a slack (those contestants not in the performances) on Sunday morning at 9 A.M. There is no charge for admission for the Thursday Roping or Sunday slack. Friday and Sunday performances will have a special performance of "World Famous Budweiser Clydesdales".

Timber the Rodeo Clown has been selected to perform at this years Lost Dutchman Days Rodeo. I am looking forward to his antics and entertainment that he always seems to bring to the show. Please make welcome him when he comes to perform. For those that need additional information pertaining to media, programs, etc, please visit his website at http://timbertuckness.com or phone him if necessary. Many of you have seen him before and I feel he is a definite addition to the Rodeo that W/A Rodeos and Buster Webb strive to bring to Apache Junction.

National Anthem Singers for the LDD Rodeo beginning at 1:30 P.M. - Friday - Ronnie Lynn, Saturday - Rachelle Imlay, Sunday - Jena Dawn
