37th Annual Medicine Lodge Rodeo
This home grown event is a staple in the community with events ranging from ladies barrel racing to
saddle bronc. The Medicine Lodge Rodeo was started by Alma Anderson, who believed that being a
cowboy was something of which to be proud.
The Anderson family proudly carries on this belief and continue to strive to
bring a truly western weekend to all contestants and spectators alike. This
rodeo is also a great supporter of the next generation of cowboys and
cowgirls — hosting junior barrel racing, stick horse racing, wild
cow milking, miniature horse racing and other very exciting events.
WRA Rough Stock events include saddle bronc, bareback, bull riding,
tie-down roping, team roping, steer wrestling, Jr & Sr barrel racing,
Jr steer riding, Jr breakaway roping, novice horse riding.
Friday and Saturday nights will feature the mini-chuckwagon races, and
Saturday and Sunday will feature the Chinook
Riders musical ride and lawn tractor races.
Sit back and enjoy the country flair of the
37th Annual Medicine
Lodge Rodeo.
