The story

Sheridan WYO Rodeo in Sheridan

The Sheridan WYO Rodeo is a PRCA-sanctioned rodeo held each July in Sheridan, Wyoming, running over four evening performances. Established in 1931, it ranks among the top twenty-five paying rodeos in the PRCA Playoff Series, with payouts exceeding three hundred thousand dollars, and anchors a full week of Sheridan community celebration.

The Sheridan WYO Rodeo was established in 1931 in Sheridan, a northern Wyoming town at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains with deep ranching and cavalry-era roots, and it has run continuously in the decades since to become one of the state's most prominent Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association events.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Founded in 1931, the rodeo has run continuously for nearly a century, giving Sheridan one of the longest-standing rodeo traditions in Wyoming

02

The mystery stays covered

Its ranking among the top twenty-five paying rodeos in the entire PRCA Playoff Series, with total payouts exceeding three hundred thousand dollars, means Sheridan draws a genuinely elite field of competitors chasing serious prize money rather than functioning as a purely local exhibition

03

The city starts moving

The rodeo anchors a full week of surrounding programming known as Sheridan WYO Rodeo Week, which has grown to include Native American Indian Relay Races, giving the event a cultural dimension tied to the region's Crow and Northern Cheyenne relay racing tradition alongside standard PRCA competition
