Ellensburg Rodeo, Perf 3
9 AM ET | 8 AM CT | 7 AM MT | 6 AM PT
The Ellensburg Rodeo is one of the “old rodeos” and has earned its place as one of America’s Top 10 professional rodeos. The Ellensburg Rodeo also hosts a stop on the PRCA’s Xtreme Bulls Tour. Started in 1923 with the same volunteer spirit that still “fuels the fire” of today’s volunteers, the rodeo has grown from a local competition among ranch hands to the Professional event of today with over 600 contestants and prize money in excess of $400,000!
Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days, Perf 2
12:30 PM ET | 11:30 AM CT | 10:30 AM MT | 9:30 AM PT
In 1913, the management of the Walla Walla County Fair decided to inaugurate a new order of business, and as a result the “Frontier Days Rodeo” came into existence, with its spectacular display of bull dogging, relay races, bronc riding, stagecoach races, cowboys, and cowgirls. In 1938 there was a dramatic change to the rodeo, when the first completely lighted night rodeo was held and coined the “Greatest Night Rodeo on Earth.”
Cowboys of Thunder, Premiere Episode (encore presentation)
