The Canadian Cowboys Association Rodeo, with performances by Rodeo Clown, Andy Levitt, go both tonight and tomorrow night.

The Mutton Bustin' happens during the Rodeo intermission both nights and the Stomp on the Grounds Rodeo Dance, featuring Chris Henderson, goes tonight at nine thirty p.m. However, no minors are allowed at the Dance.

Wallis has also announced that Big Sky Amusements will be on location out on the grounds with three rides...two kiddies rides, as well as a Ferris Wheel. They will also have cotton candy.
