A main feature this year is the professional Red Dirt Rodeo that will be held October 6 and 7 in the historic Pavilion, where each seat provides a great view of all the entertainment.
Fair Gate Admission for the PRCA Red Dirt Rodeo at the Tulsa State Fair is included with a Rodeo ticket but only for the performance day. However, a weekend pass includes a ticket to both rodeo performances and the State Fair Gate Admission.
Events
With the theme this year of “Take a Spin!” and proudly sponsored by FORD, this Rodeo consists of six PRCA events added to the Grand Entry, the Calf Scramble, and lots of cowboys and cowgirls. Included is bull riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, barrel racing, tie-down roping, and bareback riding.
At the Rodeos held at the 2016 Tulsa State Fair, 4-H and FFA members had a chance to “catch a calf.” Ten winners received a certificate for $800.00 to use towards the purchase of an animal to show at the 2017 Fair. Calf Scramble’s goal is for exhibitors to gain knowledge about animal care.
Concerts
Ticket Price: $35.00 for one or $60.00 for both
Each concert will start immediately after the rodeo at approximately 8:30 PM and consist of action and memorable music performances.
They always strive to give more than what is expected. They put on a show with plenty of energy and a lot of crowd interaction by encouraging singing along.
