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 500 plus entries, enough so that we have to run all the team roping one day earlier on Thursday, February 23rd and includes a slack (those contestants not in the performances) on Sunday, February 26th, morning at 9 A.M. There is no charge for admission for the Thursday Roping or Sunday slack.
Admission: $12 Adults $8 Children
