While coronavirus forced its cancellation in 2020, the Augusta American Legion Rodeo is returning for 2021, with festivities happening all weekend long, from June 25-27, 2021.

“Last year was the first time in history that the rodeo didn’t happen,” said Ben Arps, chairman of the Augusta American Legion Rodeo. “This year, we can’t wait to welcome rodeo athletes, rodeo lovers and visitors back to our small Montana town.”

The 84th Annual Augusta American Legion Rodeo will be held on Sunday, June 27 at 2 p.m. In addition to the rodeo performance, there are several events taking place all weekend long, including vendors, live music, a street dance and a parade.

“If there’s one thing that’s synonymous with Augusta, it’s the rodeo,” said Tia Troy, President of the Augusta Area Chamber of Commerce. “And since we missed the rodeo and all the folks who come to Augusta for it last year, we’re extending this year’s event to last for an entire weekend.”

More information about all the activities going on this year at the Augusta American Legion Rodeo can be found here.

CALGARY — Jason Kenney has responded on social media to a rodeo that drew thousands of people to a rural Alberta community on the weekend.

“It is disturbing to see large numbers of people gathering this weekend at Bowden in flagrant violation of COVID-19 public health measures,” he wrote on Twitter.

“Not only are gatherings like this a threat to public health, they are a slap in the face to everybody who is observing the rules to keep themselves and their fellow Albertans safe.”

He added the reason why Alberta is seeing extremely high case rates is because people are “ignoring the rules.”

“If we do not begin to bend the curve, our health care system could very well be overwhelmed in a matter of weeks.”

Organizers touted the ‘No More Lockdowns’ rodeo, held Saturday and Sunday in the community approximately an hour north of Calgary, as an act of civil disobedience.

The rodeo was supposed to be held at an official arena in Bowden, but the town’s agricultural society pulled the permit for it when it learned the event was going ahead despite COVID-19 rules against it.

Alberta Health Services also condemned the event, saying it was “disappointing” that organizers went ahead with it.

“It was a clear breach of the current public health restrictions,” AHS wrote in a statement. “In addition, it is extremely concerning that people would knowingly put their fellow Albertans at risk by ignoring the restrictions, particularly with increasing cases and the subsequent pressure on our healthcare system.”

The Northcott Rodeo, the group behind it, said on Facebook it would not stand by as the Western heritage of Albertans was “ripped out of existence.”

Kenney added the very thought of holding a large rodeo was an insult to the same Western heritage the organizers were trying to defend.

“I’m angered and saddened to see so many people selfishly put themselves ahead of others. Rodeos celebrate Alberta’s Western heritage, a key part of which is our community spirit and looking out for others, especially the vulnerable,” he said.

“That’s the opposite of what these folks are doing.”

The premier did not make any mention of enforcement against any of the organizers in his statement, but a spokesperson from his office said it’s not the place for elected officials to direct law enforcement.

“Alberta’s government has given law enforcement and AHS increased authority to issue tickets and enforce COVID-19 public safety measures, including preventing registry services for those in violation of COVID health measures,” said Jerrica Goodwin, Kenney’s press secretary in an email to CTV News.

It is disturbing and to see large numbers of people gathering this weekend at Bowden in flagrant violation of COVID-19 public health measures.

Montana cowboys and cowgirls who earned their spots at the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo will be competing in Kissimmee, Florida, this weekend.

The rodeo begins Thursday and ends on Saturday. Competitors who qualified for the NCFR were the average winner or year-end champion at their respective circuit finals.

The 42nd annual Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit Finals was at the Majestic Valley Arena in Kalispell in January.

Representing the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit at the prestigious rodeo will be Richmond Champion and Wyatt Bloom in bareback; team ropers Brady Tryan (header), Radley Day (header), Matt Robertson (heeler) and Taylor Williams (heeler); Shawn Downing and Scott Guenthner in steer wrestling; Chase Brooks and Travis Nelson in saddle bronc; Haven Meged and Bryce Bott in tie-down roping; Lindsay Kruse and Erin Williams in barrel racing; and Parker Breding and Hawk Whitt in bull riding.

A complete list of the RAM NCFR qualifiers is listed on the event’s website.

According to the event’s website, the qualifiers will be competing for $1 million in cash and prizes.

One local cowboy will saddle up when the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo (RAM NCFR) rides into town this weekend.

Kissimmee’s own Parker Kempfer will be one of 200- plus circuit champions from across the U.S. and Canada who will vie for $1 million in cash and prizes while trying to leave their mark on history in the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo April 9 and 10.

The entertaining event returns to Osceola County, bringing a level of rodeo competition unlike any other to the dirt-covered floor of the Silver Spurs Arena, 1875 Silver Spur Lane, Kissimmee.

Parker Kempfer

In January 2021, Kempfer headed south to Davie, Florida to compete at the Southeastern Circuit Finals. In the first round, he climbed down into the chute onboard Girl Crush, a mare hauled by 5 Star Rodeo. When the chute gate swung open, Girl Crush stalled before carrying Parker to third place. Dakota Twist of Hi-Lo Pro Rodeo proved to be a handful in the second round, but a 77 was good enough for another third place. Kempfer went two for two to earn the title as the Southeastern Circuit yearend saddle bronc champion and a qualification to the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo.

Sitting on the back of the bucking chutes at the original Silver Spurs Arena nearly 20 years ago, Kempfer idolized the rough stock cowboys that came to compete. As he grew, his love and admiration for the sport grew too. Kempfer traveled with his dad, George, and Uncle Doug to several rodeos across the state hauling bucking bulls. Parker and his family have always been involved in the rodeo industry. Though his mother wouldn’t allow him to rodeo as a child, he eventually found his way as a champion saddle bronc rider.

Saddle bronc riding has the deepest roots in the sport of rodeo. This event began on ranches throughout the American West as early as the 1800s. Cowboys competed amongst each other to see who had the skill and style when riding untrained horses. While strength and skill are important in this event, many cowboys believe that saddle bronc riding is the toughest event to master because of the technical work behind it. Learn more about the riders behind ProRodeo’s toughest event with Parker Kempfer, the Southeastern Circuit Finals year-end saddle bronc champion!

Getting started in rodeo

Sitting on the back of the bucking chutes at the original Silver Spurs Arena nearly 20 years ago, Parker idolized the rough stock cowboys that came to compete. As he grew, his love and admiration for the sport grew too. Parker traveled with his dad, George, and Uncle Doug to several rodeos across the state hauling bucking bulls. Parker and his family have always been involved in the rodeo industry. Though his mom wouldn’t allow him to rodeo as a child, he eventually found his way as a champion saddle bronc rider.

The first bronc broke the plane of the chute when he was a senior in high school. Parker said, “My mom couldn’t tell me no anymore,” so he cinched up a borrowed saddle and nodded for the chute gate to open at a bronc riding school. Shortly after, he got on in Kenansville two days in a row. A retired Silver Spurs Rodeo bronc, “Little Man,” led him to ride in the Florida High School Rodeo Association and to eventually haul older Silver Spurs broncs to those events. He qualified for the National High School Rodeo finals that summer and was awarded a scholarship to Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. After his freshman year, Parker transferred to Sam Houston State University for a better bronc riding opportunity. The move brought different practice broncs and more amateur rodeos to compete in.

Even when saddle bronc riding sparked an interest, Parker continued to play football exclusively to not let the team down if he were to get hurt. As a football player, you’re conditioned to acquire injuries, maintain a competitive attitude, and give it your best effort regardless of the situation. Though the technical aspects of the sports are different, preparing mentally and physically are the same.

Knowledge and confidence go hand in hand. The more you have, the better you will ride. Parker struggled with what worked best for qualified rides. After asking for some advice, making the switch to ride in a saddle one inch larger, and practicing on the spur board, his riding reflected his efforts to succeed.

Fulfilling gold buckle dreams

Earning a gold buckle, or any buckle for that matter is no easy task. It takes a wealth of time, travel, and determination before you can slip new hardware onto a belt. Throughout the year, you may be able to catch Parker competing at the Cheyenne Frontier Days, Pendleton Round-Up, San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, and his hometown rodeo, Silver Spurs in Kissimmee, FL.

One of the most memorable rides as Parker made his way down the rodeo road started at the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming. He drew Happy Valley of Vold Rodeo Company during his junior year of college but got bucked off. In Prescott, Arizona, the chute gate opened for a second chance as Parker went head to head with Happy Valley. As the buzzer went off, Parker found himself still in the saddle. However, instead of celebrating a victory, the officials flagged him for failing to mark out. Even though he left with a no score, it was a turning point in his career. The confidence booster was just what he needed to have a successful summer run!

In January 2021, Parker headed south to Davie, Florida to compete at the Southeastern Circuit Finals. In the first round, he climbed down into the chute onboard Girl Crush, a mare hauled by 5 Star Rodeo. When the chute gate swung open, Girl Crush stalled before carrying Parker to 3rd place. Dakota Twist of Hi-Lo Pro Rodeo proved to be a handful in the second round, but a 77 was good enough for another 3rd place! Parker went 2-for-2 to earn the title as the Southeastern Circuit year-end saddle bronc champion and a qualification to the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo on April 9 and 10!

What sets the RAM NCFR apart from the rest?

Upon completing the regional circuit finals, the event winner and year-end champion qualify for the RAM National Circuit Finals in Kissimmee at Osceola Heritage Park. The RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Kissimmee is unique compared to other PRCA sanctioned rodeos because of the amount of money up for grabs. Contrary to other rodeos throughout the year, the cowboys and cowgirls competing at the RAM NCFR must qualify.

Contestants from across the United States can be seen competing in the seven traditional rodeo events: bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing, and bull riding! Though most contestants come from all over the country to compete, the RAM NCFR is held in Kissimmee, Florida on the same plot of land Parker fell in love with the sport of rodeo. Will you be at the RAM NCFR at OHP to witness history in the making?

All of ProRodeo’s Top 10 in the World Have Accepted Their Invitations to The American Rodeo Finals at AT&T Stadium

All of the ProRodeo athletes who finished Top 10 in the 2020 PRCA and WPRA World Standings have accepted their invitations to compete at The American Rodeo, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, March 6-7, 2021.

“The American Rodeo is so much more than just a rodeo or a payday for cowboys,” said Randy Bernard, CEO of The American Rodeo. “The money is so substantial; I always like to say it’s where dreams come true. We have seen cowboys and cowgirls walk away with over $1 million in one day and that is what our sport should be about. The story lines, the drama, the passion…it all comes out in one weekend. It truly is an amazing event that I look forward to every year.”

The American Rodeo is known as the world’s richest weekend in western sports due to its tremendous prize offering of $2.3 million. Qualifying events are held across the country, throughout the calendar year, as ropers and riders hope to compete and make it to The American Rodeo Semi-Finals and Finals. The finals then bring the top athletes in the world and the underdogs who advance from The American Rodeo Semi-Finals together to battle for the biggest single, life-changing paycheck of their lives. The Top 10 in each event are invited to forgo the qualifiers and head straight to the finals at AT&T.

“The american is like no other,” said Shad Mayfield, Reigning Tie-Downing World Champion and 2020 American Champion. “It’s been an amazing feeling to get to compete at the highest level against the best for the highest amount of money and i’m looking forward to it this year.”
