WE ARE STILL WORKING ON 2022 DATES FOR SPECIAL EVENTS.
If you have any suggestions for special acts we are always looking for ideas.
Carbondale Wild West Rodeo Association reserves the right to make changes to events schedule, rules and payout/added money as deemed necessary.
You will be sure to see Rodeo Clowns, Grand Entry presentations and lots of good old fashioned grit and gumption as young and old bring their best to CWWR performances. Contestants will be vying for an All Around Saddle Award to be awarded to the contestant with the most money earned in 2 events. Ranch Bronc Riding continues to be one of our most popular events so we will continue it every other week and for the FINALS with a buckle! Hide Race another of the favorites alternates with Ranch Broncs and is a buckle series as well. .
You can watch the Bobby Kerr Mustang Act on YouTube!

BE THERE IN PINK
R & A Enterprises is our Tough Enough to Wear Pink Sponsor. They have been sponsoring our TETWP rodeo for several years now and invite everyone to come out and honor those who have fought the tough fight against breast cancer. We honor all who have fought valiantly this difficult battle, knowing that some continue the fight, some have overcome and some have succumbed. We hope that research can increase the numbers that beat breast cancer all all cancers. A portion of the proceeds goes each year to help fight the fight.
Do you know a family member or close friend whose life was impacted by breast cancer? Chances are you do. You too can join the western community in its efforts to raise funds for the fight against cancer! The Calaway Young Cancer Center at Valley View Hospital will receive a portion of the rodeo proceeds.
Seeking additional sponsors for TETWP! Call CWWRA, President Mike Kennedy at 970-379-3907 for more information.
