Catalena Cowgirls are returning to the rodeo this year to show their spectacular painted horses. Gizmo McCracken will be the famous Barrelman and Specialty Act. Get ready to get some good laughs in because McCracken was named PRCA Comedy Act of the Year in 2017. This will be a good show y’all! Get ready to do some boot-scootin’ because at the end of each rodeo there will be a dance on the Cornyval grounds.
We can’t forget and give a big thank you to the Helotes Festival Association’s PRCA Rodeo’s sponsors, Pendleton Whiskey, Wrangler, Dodge Ram, and Bud Light. There are many local sponsors and H-E-B is the presenting sponsor. Thank you to all the sponsors and volunteers who are helping put on the best of the best, Cornyval and PRCA Rodeo 2021.
A new thing starting this year, Cornyval will be switching over to eCash pricing packages to purchase a ticket for gate entry and drink beverages. This is a great way to skip the line and buy online! Also, an easier way so you won’t have to worry about having cash on you. Cash and card will also be accepted as well.
