The OSU Rodeo Team and the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources at Oklahoma State University are proud to announce the third annual Cowboy Stampede rodeo, Oct. 20-22.

Performances will take place each evening at 7 p.m. at the Payne County Fairgrounds, Highway 51 and Fairgrounds Road.

The Cowboy Stampede is sanctioned by the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association. The NIRA includes 11 national regions, and OSU participates in the Central Plains Region, which features 28 colleges and universities from Kansas and Oklahoma, totaling more than 500 regional competitors.

Each evening’s performance will feature 10 events. The students will be competing as individuals and as a team. Championship buckles will be presented to event and all-around winners at Saturday night’s championship performance.

Tickets are $10 each and children five years and younger are free. Discounted tickets ($5) are available with an OSU ID, school ID or OSU Alumni Association membership.

Tickets for the event are also available for purchase at Cavender’s in Stillwater, and will be sold during specified times on the OSU-Stillwater campus.

Tickets will be sold at the gate (while supplies last) prior to each performance. Gates will open at 5 p.m.
