Raffle tickets are available now at First Fidelity Bank and Burke Community Pharmacy of from any Stampede Committee member or you can purchase yours at the Chuckwagon Feed, Stampede Idol Contest or during all rodeo performances.

The Stampede Rodeo Committee has teamed up with several businesses and individuals to bring especially special entertainment to the 2017 Stampede. Get ready Stampede fans to stretch your smile for the man that found his true calling as a rodeo clown. David “Hippie” Engelkes from Steamboat Rock, Iowa promises his act to be completely improvised and never the same show twice. You won’t want to miss a single performance.
