The San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association is presenting the 55th annual Wrangler Roping Fiesta October 24-26, 2008. We host three days of calf roping, steer roping and double mugging.
Friday, October 24, 2008
The weekend kicks off with the preliminary calf roping. The format for the prelims is a two head progressive and short round. From this event the top five ropers will be invited to the main event on Saturday. We traditionally get over 150 ropers compete in this event. The entry fee for the prelims is $225.
Saturday, October 25, 2008
The highlight of the weekend is the Roping Fiesta Calf Roping which is a two head progressive followed by short round invitational calf roping. Our association adds $12,500 to this event and the entry fee is $500. In addition to prize money a saddle is also presented to the average winner. We invite 45 of the top calf ropers in the country and have many of the same ropers competing at the NFR. We have had all the past World Champion PRCA calf ropers participate in our event.
The crown jewel of the calf roping is the $15,000 winner take all, twelve head match roping between two of the world's best ropers. Fastest man on the 250 pound calves across the 18 foot score takes the cash. Cody Ohl has dominated this event over the past seven years and has competed against other world champions such as Monty Lewis, Fred Whitfield and Trevor Brazile.
Sunday, October 26, 2008
Sunday brings the invitational Roping Fiesta Steer Roping. The entry fee is $750 for this four head progressive after two events that include 35 of the top steer ropers in the country. Guy Allen along with all the past World Champions have attended this event.
Last year we introduced double mugging to our spectators. This is one of our fan favorites. Double mugging is a two man team that competes on 550 pound fresh yearlings. The objective is to tie down the yearling similar to calf roping. One contestant ropes the yearling tied off heard and fast. Both contestants dismount and one roper mugs the yearling while the other tries to leg him down. We will invite 30 teams and run 10 teams in between each round of steer roping.
Please make plans to attend. Each year we have over 10,000 spectators join us at the famed outdoor arena which is over 700 feet long. The event takes place rain or shine.
Please check back for more information on tickets.
The 55th Annual Wrangler Roping Fiesta will be held October 25-26 in the outdoor roping arena.
Please check back for more information as it becomes available.
