Heart of the North Pro Spooner Rodeo

The 55^th annual Spooner Rodeo is set for Jul 10^th - 12^th, 2008.

Since 1954, Spooner Rodeo has guaranteed -- and delivered -- the biggest thrills, spills and outright excitement that professional rodeo can offer. Every year at Spooner, top-ranked competitors pit their skills against the clock and Barnes Company's biggest, roughest and wiliest stock in pro rodeo's most exciting events: bareback and saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing, bull riding and team roping. Spooner Rodeo is world-class competition that you have got to see.

Award-winning rodeo producer Bob Barnes always provides the finest, fastest and fiercest critters to come out of the chutes and gates of any rodeo arena anywhere. Each year at Spooner, under Barnes' practiced hand, the excitement factor just climbs higher and higher. In addition to the fast action in the arena, you'll enjoy the pomp, pageantry and patriotism of professional rodeo that is part of every performance.

Tickets should be purchased in advance by calling (800) 367-3306 or by stopping by the Washburn County Information Center at 122 North River St. in Spooner, just north of the stoplights at the junction of Highways 63 and 70.
