Just wanted to thank all our volunteers who helped operate chutes, sort animals, flipped burgers, sold tickets, scanned tickets at the gate, sold you burgers and brats and drinks! We could not have accomplished this without the nearly 100 volunteers we recruit annually. So thank you!

Enter to win this Wild Weekend Giveaway with Bridger Brewing and Three Forks Rodeo!

It’s all set! Rodeo 2025 will be held Friday July 18th and Saturday July 19th. We can’t wait to see you there!

Remember, Fridays are family night – kids up to age 12 get in free with a non-perishable food donation to the Headwaters Area Food Bank. Since these donations are accepted during the summer months when older kids may be home alone, the Food Bank is requesting kid-friendly and easily made foods like: cereal, macaroni and cheese, canned meals, shelf milk, or canned veggies and fruits.

VENDOR spaces are filling up quickly. Remember we encourage vendors of all different sales, that do not compete with other vendors. We allow 3 food vendors, which are already filled...

The rodeo grounds is open for the public’s use. Anytime the arena is not reserved, you are welcome to practice and ride in it. It may not be worked as frequently between reservations, but the Arena Manager takes excellent care of the arena during our busy season, which ramps up late April and ends usually late September.

We also have many stalls setup for those of you traveling through. You are welcome to use them for one overnight. This would be dry-camping only, as there are no RV hookups or electricity to plug into. However, in busy season we do have water available at the stalls. These do get blown out for the winter though. There is a donation box near the first stall we kindly request that you leave a donation for using our facility.

Thank you!

Please note the rates for reserving the arena, grooming, building, etc have been slightly revised and are effective immediately.

Just wanted to share a big huge THANK YOU to all those who have donated to funding of the bleachers! The bleachers were purchased in 2020 for just over $412,000, with another [just under] $59,000 in construction/excavation prep work for a total of under under half a million dollars. The majority of donations came that first year, and the Board was able to secure a loan for the balance at $310,000. Many more donations were received due to the 2020 “No Go Rodeo” campaign because of the COVID-19 pandemic. All of you attending the past few years’ rodeos who have left a tip in the jars at the Cook Shack or Beer Gardens have also contributed to our semi-annual payments on the loan for the remaining balance. We couldn’t do it without you!
