Since 1953, the Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo has turned a patch of Southeast Missouri dirt into the biggest week of the year. Ranked among the top 40 rodeos in the country, the Bootheel Rodeo brings professional cowboys and cowgirls to the arena for PRCA and WPRA sanctioned bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing, and bull riding. When the last bull bucks, the stage lights come up, and the concert happens right there on the dirt.

 

More than 40,000 fans make the trip to Sikeston every August, and rodeo week is bigger than the arena. The Cowboy Shuffle Fun Run, Mutton Bustin', the rodeo parade, the pageants, Stampede Week, and the annual crawfish boil fill the days leading up to the first go-round.

 

All of it is put on by the Sikeston Jaycees, an all-volunteer organization that pours proceeds back into Southeast Missouri through local charities and nonprofits. Every ticket sold supports that work.
