San Angelo, Texas | Going On Now: April 1-17, 2022 | sanangelorodeo.com
The San Angelo Rodeo holds twelve PRCA sanctioned rodeo performances. Each performance includes one section of Bareback Riding, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping, Saddle Bronc Riding, Calf Roping, Barrel Racing, and Bull Riding. Make sure to stay for the PRCA Finals on April 15th where the top 12 in each event come back to town to compete for the championship! It is one of the most coveted titles in Pro Rodeo!
In addition to the 12 PRCA performances and the Finals, San Angelo also hosts the Cinch Chute-Out which is one of their best-selling events. The contestants in each event are made up of the top five from the 2021 year-end standings, and the top five from the current 2022 world standings. In the first round, each contestant goes head to head and the four with the fastest times, or best scores, advance to the second round. From those four, the one with the best ride or run in the second round takes home $12,500 in each event! The total purse is $100,000 for the single performance. You watch the best of the best compete for big money and the title of Cinch Chute Out Champion, all in one night!

Clovis, California | April 20-24, 2022 | clovisrodeo.com
Clovis Rodeo is celebrating its 108th anniversary on April 20-24, 2022 in Clovis, California! It just isn’t Spring in California unless you’ve experienced the Clovis Rodeo. It is an integral part of the Clovis community and key to upholding their western heritage.
What started out more than 108 years ago as a community event, and then became a 2-day rodeo, has grown into a 5-day event kicking off with bull riding followed by 4-days of PRCA rodeo action, generating an economic impact of more than $15 million for our region. It began as a time to bring the community together and has grown into one of the top 10 Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA) rodeos in the nation. With a total winning purse of more than $400,000, they bring in world champion cowboys and cowgirls to team up with some of the best-bucking stock in the sport from throughout the country.
