So Bronc Rumford and his coaching team moved the annual event up a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nrodeo is usually scheduled for the third weekend \u2013 Friday through Sunday \u2013 of\nApril at Doug Philip Arena. This year, it will run from Thursday through\nSaturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FHSU\nhosts the second-to-last rodeo on the Central Plains Region circuit, with the\nPanhandle State event in Guymon, Okla., concluding the regular season the\nfollowing week. Competitors who finish in the top four in total points in each\nevent at the end of the regular season advance to the College National Finals\nRodeo June 12-18 in Casper, Wyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost\nof the rodeos in our region stay on the same dates every year,\u201d Rumford said.\n\u201cIt would be a lot of re-scheduling if we moved it. It\u2019s easier to make\nadjustments on the days of the week for our rodeo than to completely change\ndates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nannual church service \u2013 Cowboy Church \u2013 ordinarily held on Sunday morning, is\nscheduled for 5 p.m. Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Qualifying\nslack performances will begin at 9 a.m. Friday and Saturday with public\nperformances at 7:00 each of those nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rodeo\nevents for the nearly 500 competitors from 22 schools in the Central Plains\nRegion are: bareback bronc riding, bull riding, calf roping, cowgirl\u2019s barrel\nracing, cowgirls\u2019 breakaway roping, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, team\nroping, and tie-down roping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced\ntickets can be purchased at the Student Service Center in FHSU\u2019s Memorial\nUnion; Orscheln Farm &amp; Home, 2900 Broadway Ave.; and Vanderbilt\u2019s, 2704\nVine.\n\nAdvance ticket prices are $10 for adults and $5\nfor children.
