A Game-Changing Event
“The Utah Days of ’47 Rodeo is a must stop during the summer for PRCA and WPRA contestants alike,” stated Tommy Joe Lucia, Executive Director of the Utah Days of ’47 Rodeo. “Money won here plays an important role in determining Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) qualifiers and eventual world champions. Not only will PRCA and WPRA contestants have a chance to walk away with a pocket full of cash, but they will get the opportunity to win a gold, silver or bronze medal, a staple at this rodeo since 2017, making it the only Gold Medal Rodeo in the world.”
