The Country Rodeo Finals is the culmination of hard work and stellar performances during the morning’s rodeo events. It is your chance to see some of the best and brightest cowboys and cowgirls. Featured events include match roping, team penning, double mugging, barrel racing, breakaway roping, and more. This year’s show will feature an American Freestyle Bullfighting competition featuring world champion bullfighter Alex McWilliams. Another highlight will be the 2023 PRCA Announcer of the Year, Anthony Lucia, calling the action. 

PBR Entertainer Matt Merritt will keep the crowd laughing all night. The beloved parachute flag drop will also make areturn to open the show.

Extreme Monster Trucks with the Flying Cowboyz will feature non-stop thrills and four monster trucks: “Obsessed,” piloted by 2022 West Coast Nationals Champion Eric Swanson; “Pretty Obsessed,” driven by Meesha Pharis; the “Unique Hillbilly,” piloted by Tim Manchester; and fan favorite and 2023 All-Star and Alaska State Champion “First Responder,” representing all the heroes on the front line, piloted by Kylie Thurber.
