Meet Our 2024 Court!

Join Colbi, Karlie, and Lauren as they lead the Grand Entry Serpentine on all four nights of our PRCA Performances at 7 p.m. It's a sight to behold! Visiting royalty will not participate in run-ins unless they have a wallowa county native on the court. For the grand entry, any visiting royalty wanting to participate in the serpentine will line up at the north end arena entrance at 6 pm each night of the rodeo, there will be signs posted at the rodeo grounds.

A Day of Joy - Wednesday at 9 am!
