The Wylie Championship Rodeo -  The long-time tradition of rodeo in Wylie continues.  This two-day event begins Friday, September 12^th at 6:30 pm through Saturday, September 13^th.   The Wylie Rodeo is a community event that has something for everyone. Besides the Pro Rodeo action, there will be western themed craft and vendor booths for that early Christmas shopping, food from a variety of concessionaires and a Kiddie Corral that just keeps getting better every year.  Besides the games and bouncy houses, there will be mechanical bull rides and other surprises for the more adventurous in attendance.

 

The festivities begin Friday with the preliminary round of Mutton Bustin’ for those kids who are 55lbs & under.  In Mutton Bustin’, the kids hang on tight to some local (and feisty) sheep for an opportunity to win the coveted Mutton Bustin’ Belt Buckles.  For details on the kids events check online at www.wyliechamber.org for sign-up information.  Both nights, the Rodeo will begin with the Grand Entry, which is an opportunity for anyone in the community to ride in on their horse (Proof of Negative Coggins Required). 

Tickets:

Adults - $10 per night
Children -  (12 & under) - $5 per night
Children 3 & Under FREE

Family Pack* - $25 per Night
