Thursday, July 17th Wet Mountain Valley Stampede Ranch Rodeo. We have invited up to 10 cowboy and cowgirl teams to Westcliffe for a one-night competition. They will compete in events similar to what they do every day, along with some just plain fun events for cash prizes and bragging rights.

Each team will be made up of five cowboys/cowgirls and will compete in 6 timed events and the ranch bronc riding. The team with the highest score in all events will be the Ranch Rodeo Champions. There will also be prizes given to the top horse and the top hand award to the best cowboy.
