The final night of the 2023 Wild, Wild West Rodeo had plenty of action. The Wild, Wild West Drill Team joined the rodeo again and performed at the beginning. Flag bearers took part in the opening Grand Entry ceremonies. All the competitors lined up for a group photo. Upcoming Stars paraded into the arena. And then the action began. Bronc riding began the competitions. Well-trained dogs, many of whom were saved from shelters, put on an entertaining show for the crowd. Always a favorite kids mounted sheep for the mutton busting competitions. Barrel racing and bull riding closed the event.
See several videos of the action below.
