The Frontier Rodeo Company is pleased to announce that everything is set for the 66th annual edition of the Lafayette Fair and Rodeo, which will include performances by the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA) from January 11 to January 14, 2018 at the Blackham Coliseum near the Lafayette Cajundome in Louisiana.
Since 1991, the Frontier Rodeo Company has been raising the finest cattle for some of the best PRCA tournaments across the country.

Just like he does every year, owner Jerry Nelson is expected to be on hand at the Lafayette Fair and Rodeo, where he will likely strike up conversations with rodeo fans. For this year’s rodeo, Nelson has selected some of the rankest bulls and wildest horses in his stock.
