EXPO & TRADE SHOW
The “super bowl” of pro rodeo for North Dakota and South Dakota!
Funds raised from the rodeo go to support the Triangle Y Camp at lake Sakakawea. We also host a Tough Enough to Wear Pink night, each Friday night of the rodeo, where funds raised support the Trinity Health Exercise Rehab Program at the Minot Family YMCA. Cancer survivors can use the program free of charge to regain their strength after chemo and cancer treatment. In the past 13 years, we’ve raised over $753,000 for the program.
