class rodeo is truly the "Daddy of 'em All. Known for its fast pace and huge number of contestants, the CFD rodeo ensures that visitors see more rodeo action (over 40 bulls and 70 saddle and bareback broncs daily) than they can see at any o
ther rodeo. Every event is performed in each of the nine daily performances, so any day at Cheyenne Frontier Days is a good day to see an exciting, action-packed rodeo. The rodeo consists of at least ten rodeo events and three track acts (trick riders, matched horse racing, and mare and colt racing) in a fast- paced display of athletics, heroics and good- natured fun. At the Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo it is known by the cowboys for the style of score it has. The cowboy sits in the box and the steer or calf comes from behind and other cowboys are yelling full, three-quarters, half, quarter, GO! GO! GO! telling the cowboy where and and when his stock is coming.Other than t
he rodeo there is all sorts to get into. There is the many concerts including this year Brooks and Dunn, Aaron Tippin and Neal McCoy, Clay Walker, Sugarland, Alan Jackson and other to be announced.

Ponoka Stampede - Ponoka, AB
In 2007, the Ponoka Stampede changed the format of their rodeo by adding the "Showdown." The top competitors in each 
event compete in the Finals by being in the top ten on two headed of stock. From there the top four cowboys in each event, advance to the evening "Showdown" competing for a $10.000 BONUS!! Also the top 
36 wagons from the WPCA Dodge Tour and the Tommy Dorchester $50,000 Dash for Cash follows. Since the change there has been sold out crowds every year. Ponoka Stampede is very much known for bringing in only the best stock for the cowboys to compete on. With this comes the best cowboys in the World many World Champions and Canadian Champions alike will be present competing to make it back to the final round and then into the showdown. This make for extremely exciting action for the viewer. Another aspect that Ponoka is known for is the one of a kind long score that timed event cowboys run out of. Here the cattle are given a bigger head start down an 4o foot alley so once the cowboy and stock hit the arena they are both at a dead run. The rodeo is held over the first week in July during Cowboy Christmas.
