Stampede Rodeo Calf Scramble
Calling all kids 10 and under! Here’s your chance to be part of this year’s rodeo fun!
The Calf Scramble is a fun way for kids to play in the arena and experience rodeo first-hand. There is no sign-up requirement and it’s free to kids 10 and under with a paid rodeo admission. At intermission, the kiddos will be invited to come down into the arena and scramble with the calves. The first to pull a ribbon from the tail of a calf will be awarded a trophy. Each year, the kids have a great time experiencing the dirty side of the old west way of life. It’s often hard to tell who is having more fun, the kids or the calves!
