Make plans to attend the Tarkio Rodeo June 11 and 12, 2021, at the Tarkio Rodeo Grounds, Hwy. 136 east in Tarkio. Last year’s event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so this year’s rodeo will be one big celebration!

Join the ropers and riders for a great show that will begin at 7:30 p.m. both nights. Mutton bustin’ for ages 6 and under will begin with sign-up at 6:00 p.m. and riding at 6:30 p.m. The Silver Creek Rodeo Company will provide the rodeo livestock and Broken Spoke Clydesdales will also make an appearance.

Admission is $15 for adults, $10 for youth 12 and under, and free for youth preschool-aged and younger. Advance tickets may be purchased for a discounted price ($8 for youth and $12 for adults) at the Tarkio Avalanche in Tarkio or Atchison County Mail in Rock Port.

Stop by and enjoy watching the cowboys and cowgirls tough it out in the arena for the chance to go home with the big prize! It’s a sight you don’t want to miss! To get to the Tarkio Rodeo Grounds, turn south at the intersection of 1st Street and Hwy. 136 on the east side of town (you will see the grounds once you turn off the highway).
