What makes the PRCA Lakeside Rodeo so special to so many is its long tradition. Hosted by the non-profit El Capitan Stadium for more than 50 years, it’s been one of the premier fundraising activities in the local area for decades. With the proceeds from the event going to various organizations and activities related to the youth of Lakeside, it’s one rodeo that has made a tremendous difference in the lives of others.

In addition to fans getting to see the best cowboys and cowgirls showcase their skills in these and other events, they will also be treated to having one of the best rodeo announcers in the business calling the action. Don Jesser, long a favorite of competitors and spectators, will again be at the helm of the event as he uses his unique style to give everyone a real taste of the excitement associated with each event.
What makes this pro rodeo so important for each cowboy and cowgirl competing in the various events is the chance to qualify for the Wrangler National Finals, which will be held later on in Las Vegas. With each event holding the key to qualifying for the big event in Vegas, fans are guaranteed to experience some of the best rodeo action anywhere in the United States by attending this competition. Whether it’s watching some steer wrestling or the incredible skills associated with team roping, the 52nd Annual PRCA Lakeside Rodeo is sure to deliver plenty of thrills and excitement.

Peter Varlet

Peter Varlet’s the cowboy critic you love to hate, until he’s right. Born during a thunderstorm in 1972 in Bismarck, North Dakota, he grew up watching his WWII vet dad battle to save their farm from corporate claws. Now, Peter’s the unapologetic voice of Western culture, with a historian’s grip on America’s past, acknowledging both its heroes and hypocrites. His truth to power articles are a no-holds-barred zone for rodeo reviews, cowboy movie takedowns, and ranching tricks that work. He’ll tell you why your country singer’s a fraud and how to fix a fence with only baling wire and spite. Peter despises corporate factory farms taking over and cherishes the DIY grit of real Americans. Politically correct? Nope. Trustworthy? Damn straight. He’s saving the West, one brutal truth at a time.
