The event starts on Thursday, May 6 and continues through Saturday, May 8 at the Porth Ag Arena in Crockett.

According to the Crockett Lions Club, “Longtime friend of the Crockett Lions Club, Sammy Andrews, will bring his award-winning stock and longtime announcer, Mike Mathis, will be back on the dirt of the Porth Ag Arena to see all of their friends in Crockett.”
Cody Sosebee will serve as rodeo clown.
