CJD Ranch Rodeo: Where Cowboys Shine for a cause!

In 2008, a spirited group of Chief Joseph Days Members united under a shared vision: to create an exceptional fundraiser that would bolster scholarship funds for deserving local high school seniors. This innovative idea gave birth to the CJD Ranch Rodeo, a non-PRCA event* that has been a shining star on the horizon for over a decade.

Scholarship Dream: At the heart of this thrilling rodeo stands a profound commitment to the community's youth. Chief Joseph Days Rodeo, Inc. awards scholarships to three local high school seniors, paving the way for their bright futures. The CJD Ranch Rodeo became the driving force behind this noble cause.

A Glimpse Into Cowboy Life: Beyond the dazzling spectacle, the CJD Ranch Rodeo offers an intimate window into the lives of working cowboys and cowgirls. It's a chance for these local heroes to showcase their skills, their dedication, and their deep-rooted connection to the land and the animals they work with.

Spectator's Delight: For the audience, this rodeo is more than a show; it's an experience. It's a front-row seat to the captivating world of working cattle ranchers, a world that many only read about in tales of the Old West. The CJD Ranch Rodeo brings that world to life, providing a chance to witness the grit and glory of ranch life up close and personal.

Over the years, the CJD Ranch Rodeo has become a symbol of unity and community spirit. It's where the past and the future intersect, where tradition meets innovation, and where the dreams of local students take flight. It's not just a rodeo; it's a legacy of giving, a celebration of the working cowboy spirit, and a scholarship lifeline for the next generation.
