2023 three forks rodeo annual report

Chairman Casey Elmose reported on this year’s events: “We had another outstanding rodeo.  July 2023, attendance was the biggest ever for a Friday night - just over 2,900 and we collected just over 800 pounds of food in donations in trade for free kids’ attendance! This food went to the Headwaters Area Food Bank who serves Three Forks and the surrounding areas of Pony, Harrison and Clarkston. On Saturday night there just over 3,300 people in attendance. Both nights we closed window sales for tickets before 8PM due to the high number of people in attendance.

We again opened the rodeo to include food truck vendors, which helped streamline the time to get your food from the cook shack. This provides a bigger variety of food options for the patrons, and greatly helps us being able to feed our volunteers as well. Vendor spaces were completely full this year, from craft jewelry, western clothing and cowboy hats, to animal and human chiropractic care and even sporting groups raising money for their teams!

The rest of summer 2023 has several events still booked, including team roping, barrel racing, oh-mok-sees, High Winds youth rodeo, mounted shooter practices, and another High School Rodeo in September.  Please check out the rodeo website calendar of events.
