Does anyone know of any bullriding or PRCA/NFR rodeoes coming to Wisconsin this summer? My friend and I went to a PRCA event in West Bend last summer, but i can't find any info if it is coming back. Any info on events would be great. Thanks, Eileen ;D

There are a quite a few events in Wisconsin this summer. Most of the PRCA events are listed on the Great Lakes Circuit Site: www.greatlakesprorodeo.com/schedule.htmThe dates for the West bend Rodeo this year are August 18-19, although it is not listed on the circuit site it is on the arena and contractor/producers schedules. I was there last year and already have that one on my schedule for this year. As for bull ridings only I would recommend some of the NFPB and BOA shows that are in the area to fill in some of the gaps in the schedule. The NFPB schedule is here: www.nfpbullriders.com/schedule.htm?63,14 The schedule only goes through June right now and I expect they will also post more WI/N. IL shows as they go along. Here is the BOA schedule: www.bullridersofamerica.com/home.htmThere are not a lot of WI shows but a few here and there and others may be added. My plan right now is to hit about 8 of the PRCA shows and i usually do about 4-5 other associations through out out the summer as well so if you are thinking about any shows let me know and maybe we can meet up and even travel together if I am heading that way and it works out. I will let you know if I find any others that look interesting!

Thanks Teri for all the info. My friend Karla went to the West Bend one last year and it was really fun, so we probably will go again. I think we are going to stay at the Country Inn Suites (I think it's called cause last year we stayed at the Super 8 and had ants - lots of them for roomates....EEWWWW. I will check out the other sites as well cause I need something to do this summer until Grand Rapinds..LOL. I will let you know which ones I am going to and would love to meet up and or travel together. Thanks again for all the info.

If you are traveling and staying over night next year anyway next year, I highly recommend making the trek to Medford. It is always an amazing show with top stock and competitors and this year was no exception. Some of the bulls that were there included Cooter, Deuces Wild, Bond James Bond, Texas Jack, Sir Patrick the list goes on and on. The horses were just as high caliber. They also had the contestants to match up. Bull riders included, Fred Boettcher, BJ Schumacher, Spud Whitman, Justin Kennedy and Steve Antczak. Other events featured riders like Kelly Timberman, Will Lowe, Cody DeMoss etc. The arena is also a pretty nice set-up making it easier to see (they run the rough stock from the long side of the arena, bad for contestants that have to run a mile to get to a fence if needed but good for fans who can see better).
