Welcome to the 2017 Carbondale Wild West Rodeo Series! We hope you are as excited to be here as we are! The Rodeo is now in its 13th season and promises to be as fun and exciting as ever! Lots of great rodeo action, good food and good friends are at the rodeo every Thursday night all summer.
The Carbondale Wild West Rodeo Association Board has established the Trent Goscha Sportsmanship Award which will be presented annually at the Finals Rodeo beginning in 2017 in memory of Trent. Trent was a bright light in the community helping with the local gymkhanas, participating in the Roaring Fork Ranch Roping and always a presence at the Carbondale Wild West Rodeo encouraging others to do their best. Trent, you will be missed.
Carbondale Wild West Rodeo Association Board is pleased to announce that work has finally begun on the Grandstand Roof and the Announcer's Booth. There have been some very generous donations that are helping to make it possible to get a new rodeo announcer's booth. We would like to thank the donors listed below the Town of Carbondale, Jeff Jackel, and Garfield County for all they have done to make this possible. Also, below is more information of the timeline for the project.

I wanted to THANK YOU from the VALLEY VIEW FOUNDATION. We appreciate, the Carbondale Wild West Rodeo Association for your generosity. Your Support makes a difference.
Contributions to the Foundation help support the best possible care at Valley View. They help expand our facilities, bring new technology, and support a healing environment and services for Valley View's patients.
The Carbondale Wild West Rodeo Association is discontinuing the rodeo royalty program. All tryouts that may have been scheduled are cancelled!
In it's place we will be offering scholarships to our contestants and volunteers who are enrolling or enrolled in college or a trade school. There will be an application process and we will keep you posted on how to apply for the scholarships as we work out the details. Stay tuned...more information to follow.
We thought we would share with Carbondale Wild West Rodeo (CWWR) fans the nice photo thank you we recently received from Mt. Sopris 4-H Club. Mt. Sopris 4-H was one of our vendors for concessions this 2016 rodeo season. CWWR supports several organizations and groups through donations and/or opportunities to sell goods at the rodeo. It is our joy to give back to the community. Thank you Mt. Sopris 4-H Club for doing such a great job with concessions this year.
