A special feature of this year’s Rodeo is the Pageant to select Miss Rodeo Wisconsin 2019.  Pageant events on Friday June 15 include Horsemanship at 6 p.m.   Events on Saturday, June 16, include the Fashion Show at 2 p.m. and the Coronation during the Saturday evening Rodeo Performance.  Both the Fashion Show and the Horsemanship Contest are open to the public.  Locally, Beatris Romo, Wilson, is a candidate for Miss Teen Rodeo Wisconsin 2019.
 
In addition to the thrill of watching professional cowboys compete on the rough stock furnished by the famed Barnes Rodeo Stock Company, there are added attractions for the entire family, particularly junior wranglers.
 
Muttin Bustin’, sponsored by Bernard’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, is a real crowd pleaser, testing the ability of junior wranglers to ride sheep.  Each night, starting at 4:30, there will be a buck off for all entrants who must be 5 or older and weigh 55#s or less. The top 10 entrants in the buck off will compete in the rodeo performance.  Winners of the event receive a traveling trophy that they keep for a year and then turn in for an engraved western buckle.  (While helmets are provided, entrants are encouraged to bring their own bicycle or equivalent helmet.)
 
In addition to Muttin Bustin’, youth can participate in the Nickel Scramble and Stick Rodeo.  Fantasy Corral is bringing their collection of exotic petting animals and, for a charge, offering pony rides.   Be sure to come by 4:30 pm to take full advantage of the junior wrangler competition.
 
The St. Croix County Fairboard and Dean LeMay, Chairman of the Rodeo Committee, extend a warm welcome to all of our guests, in particular current and former military members who, with valid ID, receive a $2 discount at the gate.  Dean wants everyone to know that the show will go on rain or shine, "nothing is more fun than watching bronc riding, steer wrestling & bull riding in the mud"!
