The Tarkio Rodeo was a huge success, with around 2,500 attending. The rain held off so that both nights could be enjoyed by large crowds with entertaining action from the arena. Thank you to the Tarkio Rodeo Board, workers and volunteers who made it so special.

Friday night’s Mutton Bustin’ winners were Weston Bohling, Boone Defenbaugh, and Aryanna Mullen. They are pictured with Piper VanSickle.

Winners of the Mutton Bustin’ on Saturday night were Cooper Long, Blayklyn McMahon, and Knox Murphy. They are pictured with Miss Rodeo Missouri Danielle Williams, Piper VanSickle, and Miss Rodeo Alabama Ashton Libel.
