Bulls, broncs and buckets of money, there’s something
for everyone at the 2008 Energy Town ProRodeo!

“Mutton Bustin’ – Wild and Woolly!”

Mutton Bustin’ made its debut at the 2007 Energy Town ProRodeo and it proved so popular that we’ve brought it back for the 2008 show. Each night we pit ten of the toughest little cowboys and cowgirls to ever pull on a pair of boots

against ten of the wildest and woolliest sheep Wyoming has ever seen.  Contestants have to be at least 4 years old and cannot weigh over 45 pounds. Qualifications for the Mutton Bustin’ take place the week prior to the rodeo and is handled by our friends at Fox Radio, 100.7 FM. Listen to Fox Radio the week prior to the Energy Town ProRodeo for qualification information. 

“Buckets of money make Energy Town ProRodeo fun and profitable”

Rodeo cowboys and cowgirls aren’t the only people who can come away   

winners at the Energy Town ProRodeo. Yes, the fastest times and highest scores in each event, in each night’s performance, win a $100 bonus but at the Energy Town ProRodeo, the audience wins too! After each event, the committee draws a ticket out of the pool of the rodeo audience and that person wins $100. On TEWTP Pink Night, the bonus increases to $150 if the winning ticket holder is wearing a pink shirt. Win money like a rodeo champion at the Energy Town ProRodeo!

“John Harrison Trick Riding Specialist brings act to Gillette”

“Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night (TETWP) moves to Friday, August 1^st”

The Energy Town ProRodeo committee donates $1 to the TEWTP campaign for every person in the rodeo audience who wears a pink shirt to the Friday night performance. In 2007, the rodeo community raised $2.5 million dollars to use in the fight against breast cancer. Wrangler, the major sponsor of TEWTP, markets a full line of pink shirts so head on down to your local western store, buy your pink shirt and come support a great cause!

“A Bike a Night – Kids win too!”

We feel that rodeo is the best family sport there is and families love to come spend a night at the Energy Town ProRodeo. It’s affordable, it’s fun and it’s a safe environment. Each night, the Energy Town ProRodeo gives away one bike, drawn from the pool of youth rodeo tickets. The kids absolutely love the bike giveaway, so load up the family and head for Cam-plex and the Energy Town ProRodeo and you just might get to take home a new bike!
