You’re going to want to be there when the gate swings open!
We’ve got a great lineup for you the rodeo on Thursday night and Friday night, and Saturday night’s truck and tractor pull!
Bulls, broncs, dirt flying, and a crowd that’s ready to make some noise - this will be one you don’t want to miss.
And hey… if you missed registration and still think you’ve got an 8 second ride in you, give us a call at 901-476-3734 and we’ll point you in the right direction!

Most importantly - grab your friends, grab your family, and we’ll see you in the arena!
