The World's Toughest Rodeo features the fan's favorite events: Bull Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding and Bareback Riding with the top two competing a second time in the thrilling Winner Takes All...Showdown Round.  The Midwest's fastest cowgirls will also compete in the Women's Barrel Racing.

The cement ends and the wild west begins each night as fans are invited to come down in the dirt on the arena floor for the Free Preshow.
