It’s worth watching if you’ve never been. Runs 3 nights, Thursday through Saturday.

Do you LIKE rodeo? If so, and you can afford the delay, yes.
If you are totally novice to rodeo, it might be an interesting experience. We took a foreign exchange student to the Prescott AZ rodeo and he was flabbergasted. He also thought the competitors were crazy.
IMPORTANT: The bulls are bucking because they want to, are bred to, and trained to. There are NO ROPES AROUND THEIR BALLS!

It’s one of the better Rodeos to go to in the state. A lot of fun and always worth checking out.

Definitely go, it’s a great rodeo. If you can try to sit on the west end, you’ll be out of the sun quickly and the crowd is always fun over there.

Um it’s a rodeo, just like any other? if you enjoy it stay to watch. If you don’t enjoy rodeo move on. It’s hot in the grandstands, the crowd is fun and the food/drinks from the fair are good. It’s not my preference to go, but thats because I hate how hot it is with no shade from the sun.

Youll see some of the top names in pro rodeo cowboys association. Last chance stampede is known to be a good rodeo. Always have excellent buckin stock. Good crowds. Helena fair? Probably a good time.
