7th Annual Esperanza Bonanza Festival Rodeo

Each year, there is always a great turn out of cowboys and cowgirls from all over the United States to participate in the annual
Esperanza Bonanza Festival Rodeo, as well as standing-room only spectators.  Our rodeo is sanctioned through the International
Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA), and in addition to earning points, winners also receive prize money.

Our rodeo consists of seven events: Saddle Bronc, Bareback Bronc, Bull Riding, Calf Roping, Team Roping, Steer Wrestling, and
Cowgirl Barrel Racing.  Prize money added per event is $700 in addition to entry pool.  Total number of places awarded (and prize
amounts) will be determined by the number of participants for each event.
