Professional cowboys will be strolling into town on June 29 for the first professional Dodge County Rodeo, produced by Rice Rodeo Company. The first two-hour event of its kind will be held from 7-9pm at the Dodge County Fairgrounds. Gates will open at 5pm for general admission, with priority given to advance ticket holders.

Witness high-quality bull riding, rodeo & free-style bull fighting from the grandstands. This is a full IPRA (International Professional Rodeo Association) rodeo event. It is also co-sanctioned with the World Champions Rodeo Alliance. The June 29th event will be held outdoors rain or shine.

Rice Rodeo Company

Rice Rodeo Company is a full-service family-operated rodeo company located in Medford, Wisconsin. With 34 events and 41 performances listed on their 2024 tour schedule, attendees are promised a professional, well-organized rodeo in Beaver Dam. Fans can expect some friendly competition from contenders from start-to-finish.

“We are very excited to come to Beaver Dam for the very first time”, shares David Rice, co-owner of Rice Rodeo Company. “The feedback we have received from the Beaver Dam area has been amazing! We like to bring the extra features you find at a professional bull riding event and also incorporate that into a full rodeo – things like flame throwers, smoke and pyrotechnics, as part of the opening ceremony with a large emphasis on a tribute to our military.”

Attendees are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance for primary access to general admission, grandstand seating. Advance tickets are only $20 for adults and $10 for kids (5-15 years old). Children 4 years and under are FREE. Tickets at the event will be $25 (adults) and $15 (children).

This family-friendly event will keep the whole family engaged. Everyone in the family will be entertained by continuous action, engagement with the crowd and the comedy segments during the event. A children’s activity will also be included in the programming (details and time TBD). Concessions will be available for purchase at the fairgrounds.

Rice Rodeo Company operates as both a full rodeo company and a professional bull riding company. “This will not be your grandfather’s rodeo!”, promises Rice.
