YETI Ambassadors Competing at the Wrangler NFR

YETI takes huge pride in the community they’ve built and continues to build. This year they have four athletes that will be competing with the infamous YETI patch on their shirts. Catch more on these athletes below and where they sit in the standings heading into the Thomas and Mack.

The Wrights

Stetson and Ryder will once again see the bright lights of Vegas. With these two competing, you will be sure to see the rest of the family as well cheering them on. Heading into the 2022 NFR, Stetson is sitting number one in the All-Around, two in the Saddle Bronc, and first in bull riding. Ryder is sitting fourth in saddle bronc. It’s going to be an interesting year to see these guys compete!

Shad Mayfield

With 2022 being his fourth trip to the NFR, Shad Mayfield is sitting at number one in the standings for Tie-down roping. The competition is steep though, with John Douch right on his heels, he could sneak in and snag the world championship for himself. Who will it be? We can’t wait to find out!

Hailey Kinsel

With three World Titles under her belt and the 2022 NFR being her sixth run at a World Title, we are excited to see Hailey and Sister back at it. Sitting at number five heading into the super bowl of rodeo, Hailey has a shot if she can win some individual rounds, but only time will tell!

The YETI Junior World Finals

The youth of rodeo is once again bringing the heat to the Las Vegas Convention inside of Cowboy Christmas. Taking place on the second level of the convention center, you can catch all of your favorite youth riders competing for a chance at more than one million combined cash and prizes! In addition to the eight standard events of rodeo, you can also enjoy the pole bending competition taking place 6-10th. The YETI Junior World Finals are essentially split in half during the week of the NFR. For the first half of the week, you can catch all of the rough stock events, with the finals taking place on December 5.

Wrangler Rodeo Arena, one of the six main interactive features of The Cowboy Channel Cowboy Christmas, will host more than 800 youth contestants in the YETI Junior World Finals vying for championships in nine events. The YETI Junior World Finals will run concurrently with The Cowboy Channel Cowboy Christmas and the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, Dec. 1 – 10.

Free to the public, The Cowboy Channel Cowboy Christmas will be open daily from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Wrangler Rodeo Arena is located on the second floor of the South Halls within the footprint of RMEF’s Hunter & Outdoor Christmas Expo and adjacent to Bites and Brews.

Wrangler Rodeo Arena, which boasts a seating capacity of more than 1,100, will host a variety of events and competitions. The YETI Junior World Finals will feature contestants 19-years-old and younger competing in many of the events the pros take part in at the Thomas & Mack Center, including bull riding, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, girls and boys breakaway, team roping, tie-down roping, pole bending and barrel racing.

The roughstock events will run from Dec. 1-4, with the Finals for these events set for Monday, Dec. 5. The timed events will then run from Dec. 6-9, culminating with the Finals on Saturday, Dec. 10.

• Ariat Rodeo Live Stage – Daily features include the RMEF Calcutta, Flint Rasmussen’s “Outside the Barrel,” Cowboy Revival with hosts Shane Minor and Alecia Davis and the NFR Tailgate Party;
• Ranch Water Rodeo Saloon – Every great “rodeo” needs a saloon. Located near the east end of The Cowboy Channel Cowboy Christmas, the Ranch Water Rodeo Saloon features specialty drinks and souvenir collectible cups. In addition, with its close proximity to the Ariat Rodeo Live Stage, this will be a great place to be close to the action;
• Bites and Brews – A series of custom food and beverage carts will be located on the second floor adjacent to the Wrangler Rodeo Arena;
• NFR After Dark presented by Community Coffee – This customized area features Cloud Touch units promoting all aspects of the NFR Experience and how fans can engage at the 25 sponsor hotels;
• A new area upstairs will be Cowboy Christmas Village sponsored by Clint Orms. This festive area will include Candy Cane and Cowboy Kissmas Arch Photo Walls, custom 12-foot Christmas tree with tiny train and village, daily appearances by Santa Claus from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. and more.

The Cowboy Channel Cowboy Christmas is the official gift show of the Wrangler NFR. Known as the richest and most prestigious rodeo in the world, the Wrangler NFR attracts the top 15 contestants in bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing and bull riding to compete for a share of the increased purse and the coveted PRCA Gold Buckle.

Rodeo fans looking for transportation to and from the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo will have the option to utilize the complimentary shuttle bus service – the NFR Express – with routes from the Las Vegas Convention Center and NFR official host hotels on the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown to the Thomas & Mack Center.

From Thursday, Dec. 1 through Saturday, Dec. 10, shuttle buses will pick up at The Cowboy Channel Cowboy Christmas located at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This one-way route will run from the Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall directly to the Thomas & Mack Center.

Also beginning on Dec. 1, the NFR Express will begin complimentary routes to and from the NFR sponsor hotels. There are now fourteen routes, covering 24 hotel properties.

“The NFR Express continues to be the most efficient means to get to the Thomas & Mack Center,” said Pat Christenson, president of Las Vegas Events. “In addition to the routes that service our hotel partners, there is a one-way shuttle that allows fans to move from The Cowboy Channel Cowboy Christmas to the arena. Due to increased traffic and parking congestion in and around the Thomas & Mack Center, we encourage fans to consider this complimentary mode of transportation.”

In 2022, all Wrangler NFR performances begin at 5:45 p.m. (PT). NFR Express will begin pick-ups at 4 p.m. (PT) and include return service until 9:45 p.m. (PT). There is no shuttle bus service during the actual rodeo performance from 6 p.m. through 8:15 pm.

Rodeo fans are urged to utilize the NFR Express for round-trip transportation. In addition, fans are asked to allow approximately 15 minutes for traffic conditions from each hotel pick-up point. The NFR Express routes and pick-up points are as follows:

For ease of travel, rodeo fans have the option of utilizing the complimentary NFR Express Shuttle Bus service from 24 sponsor hotel properties and The Cowboy Channel Cowboy Christmas. Upon arrival, fans will be greeted with rodeo-themed areas extending both outside the arena and within the confines of the building.

On the outer grounds of the Thomas & Mack Center, the ProRodeo Zone will greet fans with PRCA sponsor-activation tents and live music. As fans move toward the entrance, they will pass through the StubHub Fan Zone, an area that includes additional sponsor tents, the official ProRodeo and Wrangler NFR merchandise trailer, food and beverage options, video screens and tables for attendees to congregate.

Further enhancing the fan experience, two outdoor video boards on the face of the arena will broadcast Wrangler NFR moments, highlight videos, interactive content and contestant interviews.

When rodeo fans enter the building, one of the arena’s highlights is the 36,000-square-foot hospitality area at the northwest end of the arena. The Aces High – Saloon & Exhibit will feature a saloon and a 2,500-square-foot, glass-enclosed balcony with Strip views. The Cowboy Channel will host the NFR Pre-Show starting at 5 p.m. and the NFR Post-Show immediately following the end of the performance each night. An additional highlight will be an all-encompassing exhibit detailing the 36-year history of the NFR in Las Vegas. Access to Aces High – Saloon & Exhibit is available to all fans with a Wrangler NFR ticket for that evening’s performance and also will feature the live broadcast of the rodeo each night, including a large-screen projection.

Meanwhile, on the arena’s southeast side opposite Aces High, fans can enjoy all the activities and amenities of the returning Cowboy Corral, which takes over the adjacent Cox Pavilion with live music, a huge bar and plenty of space to sit and relax or kick up your heels. The live entertainment will include pre and post-event performances by Will Jones (Dec. 1-3), Dillon Carmichael (Dec. 4-6) and Ben Gallaher (Dec. 7-10). Doors open at 4 pm and the live music starts at 4:45 pm.

Sitting right outside of Cowboy Corral is the Bull & Barrel Saloon, featuring its own bar and food service and the Hall of Champions with tributes to former NFR champions.

The entertainment will continue throughout the evening as fans begin to settle into their seats. Prior to each performance, there will be an opening act, followed by the singing of the National Anthem. The attention will then turn to the dirt, as the best contestants in the world test their skills and seek the coveted Gold Buckle, awarded to the world champions.

The Wrangler NFR attracts the top 15 contestants in bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing and bull riding to compete for a share of the increased purse and the coveted PRCA Gold Buckle. In 2021, the event had a total attendance of 169,539 over the 10 days of competition at the Thomas & Mack Center and has sold out more than 340 consecutive performances in Las Vegas.

After a three-month promotion, two performers have been selected by fans to sing the national anthem at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. The Wrangler NFR will kick off on Thursday, Dec. 1 and run through Saturday, Dec. 10.

The Wrangler NFR National Anthem Contest launched on Aug. 3. All entries had to be submitted by Aug. 24. Entries were received from 28 states. From there, an initial fan vote narrowed the list to the Top 30 and a panel of judges narrowed the list to the Top 8 for further open voting. From Sept. 28 through Oct. 5, fans voted on their selection of choice among the final eight entries. The 2022 winners were Presley Seal and Candace Muir. Seal will perform on Dec. 4, while Muir will perform on Dec. 8.

A 12-year-old cowgirl from Caldwell, Idaho, Seal competes in junior rodeos and ropings, and enjoys riding and spending time with her friends and family. She was asked to sing the national anthem at the Snake River Stampede in Nampa, Idaho for the first time when she was eight years old. She loves to sing the anthem and has performed a total of three times at Nampa, as well as the Canyon County Fair, Caldwell Night Rodeo, Idaho Cowboy’s Association Finals, the Reno Open Roping and All-Girl, as well as many other junior rodeos, barrel races and jackpots. Her goal was to sing at the Wrangler NFR someday, and that dream will become a reality in 2022.

Muir, a native of Waynesfield, Ohio, has been performing for many years and enjoys singing anytime she gets a chance. She has performed the national anthem at many national cattle shows, cattle sales and other small events. Muir is a former graduate of The Ohio State University where she obtained her B.S. in zoology and a minor in music. She was a member of The Ohio State University A Capella group as well as a former singer in two local country bands.

On the professional side, she currently is a co-owner/herdsman of her family cattle and hay operation and a custom show cattle fitter. In addition, she assists in managing Graze On, her family-owned catering company. Muir won the NFR National Anthem contest last year. However, she was involved in a life-threatening accident just weeks before and was unable to perform.

The full list of anthem performers includes:
Thursday, Dec. 1 – Easton Corbin (also performing at Cowboy Revival at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas)
Friday, Dec. 2 – Glen Templeton (also performing at Cowboy Revival at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and Rodeo Vegas at The Mirage)
Saturday, Dec. 3 – Dan Smalley (also performing at Cowboy Revival at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas)
Sunday, Dec. 4 – Presley Seal, Contest Winner
Monday, Dec. 5 – Will Jones (also performing at Cowboy Revival at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas)
Tuesday, Dec. 6 – Wyatt McCubbin (also performing at Cowboy Revival at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas)
Wednesday, Dec. 7 – Jim McCloughan

“We are excited that tickets are now on sale for the Wrangler National Finals Breakaway Roping and encourage everyone to get your tickets today and come support these ladies,” said Jimmie Munroe, WPRA President. “We are looking forward to showcasing our top ladies at the South Point Arena and recognizing our 2022 WPRA World Champion Breakaway Roper.”

The Top 15 breakaway ropers as of Sept. 30, will compete for prize money of $250,000 during the two day, 10-round performance. Martha Angelone, who will be making her third appearance at the NFBR, will lead the way as the No. 1 ranked roper and she will be looking for her first world title. She was the reserve world champion in 2020, the first year the NFBR was held in Arlington, Texas.

The South Point has long been known as Vegas Cowboy Central between Thanksgiving and Christmas and is now expanding that footprint to also be known as Vegas Cowgirl Central. NFBR fans can also take advantage of the current room and ticket package that South Point Hotel and Casino is offering. The package includes a two-night stay – Nov. 29-30 in a deluxe guest room and two general admission tickets to both NFBR performances.

“We are excited to welcome the ladies of the WPRA and their fans to the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center for this world championship event,” said Ryan Growney, General Manager of the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa. “This will be an exciting event to kick off all the NFR festivities as there is no faster event in rodeo than breakaway roping.”

The 2020 National Finals Breakaway Roping took place at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, in conjunction with the NFR and Jackie Crawford was crowned the world champion. In 2021, the NFBR took place in Las Vegas at the Orleans Hotel and Casino and was won by Sawyer Gilbert.

The Golden Circle of Champions, in conjunction with Las Vegas Events, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, Red Bluff Round-Up, Santa Maria Elks Rodeo and Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation, announced today that it will honor 20 children and their families fighting life-threatening cancer during the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo? in Las Vegas.

Founded in 2016 in conjunction with the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo, the Golden Circle of Champions was conceived to raise awareness and provide funds to help those children in need. Each year, families are honored during the opening night of the rodeo. Through donations and fundraising efforts, support is provided directly to the families to fulfill their most urgent needs: paying bills, buying medicine and caring for their family.

What started at the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo is now making its way to Las Vegas to continue the vital mission of the Golden Circle of Champions. Ten local Las Vegas families along with 10 families chosen from PRCA-sanctioned rodeos from across the country will be treated like champions at rodeo-themed activities in their honor. Each of the 20 families in attendance will include a child between the ages of 6 and 14 years of age who has been diagnosed with life-threatening cancer or associated illnesses.

While in Las Vegas during the Wrangler NFR, the children and their families will be honored at the Golden Circle of Champions Banquet at the Tuscany Suites & Casino on Sunday, December 4 at 11:30 a.m. PT. The children will have an opportunity to dine with rodeo champions, receive special gifts and learn about the sport of rodeo. That evening, all honorees will attend the Wrangler NFR at the Thomas & Mack Center.

“The Red Bluff Round-Up Association is excited to again partner with the Golden Circle of Champions during the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas,” said James Miller, general manager of the Red Bluff Round-Up. “We, at the Red Bluff Round-Up, continually strive to make a positive impact in our community. It is phenomenal to see so many sponsors, rodeo committees, volunteers and Wrangler NFR contestants joining forces in this opportunity to make these kids, who are facing such a devastating disease, feel like the true champions they are. I am looking forward to witnessing the smiles on these kids’ faces as they enjoy such an incredible experience.”

“Our goal is to bring education and awareness, locally and nationally, to pediatric cancer and offer a ray of hope to the families that are navigating through this difficult journey. They desperately need our help as a community, and we want to let them know we are here for them,” stated Golden Circle of Champions Founder Tina Tonascia. “Our Team at the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo feels it is our job to continue to tell their stories about pediatric cancer, in the hopes that one day we will be able to make a difference. Being able to partner with the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation and the Tuscany Suites and Casino to bring these families, contestants, committees and sponsors together is a huge stepping stone to achieving that goal.”

“We are so grateful and thrilled to once again be associated with the Golden Circle of Champions in 2022,” said Jeffrey R Gordon, president/CEO of Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation. “This means so much to the children that are honored through this amazing event. We will be forever grateful to the NFR, Las Vegas Events, Wrangler and all those who make this day one of the most special days in our children’s lives who are battling cancer and life-threatening illnesses. The love and compassion that is shown by so many is absolutely spectacular and truly makes our hearts smile.”
