M&W Rodeo

Ranger Rodeo Coming to NWCC Multipurpose Arena April 19-21

SENATOBIA – The ninth stop of the Ozark Region Intercollegiate Rodeo Tour brings the Landers-Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep Ranger Rodeo to the Northwest Mississippi Community College Multipurpose Arena from Thursday-Saturday, April 19-21. | Region Standings

The main event, presented by America's Best Value Inn and Delta Power Sports, will begin at 7:30 each night. A Mutton Bustin contest, sponsored by Textbook Corner, will also be held 45 minutes prior to each performance for ages 6-and-under or under 60-pounds.  

Collegiate cowboys and cowgirls from 20 colleges and universities across a seven state area will converge on Senatobia for three nights of action as they ride and rope, hoping to garner points that will qualify them to compete at the College National Finals this June in Casper, Wyo. 

Rodeo fans will have the opportunity to see some of the rankest livestock in the country, as the big trucks from the Universal Rodeo company roll into town. 

Rodeo funny man Dusty Myers makes his College Rodeo debut during this event. A four-time selection to the International Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City, Myers keeps the laughs rolling as he dodges bulls and imparts his own style of fun and excitement to fans. 

Tickets are on sale now at the NWCC Foundation Office, the Tate County Co-Op and Tobie Town Music in Senatobia. General admission is $10 and $8 in advance, while children six and under are free of charge. Special admission tickets are also available for all three nights at $20.

Thursday, April 19 is NWCC Night, with free admission with a NWCC ID, while Friday is Rebel 95.3 Night and Saturday is Armed Forces Night where all military personnel are admitted free with Military ID.
