When there are circumstances beyond your control, just saddle up and keep on ridin'!

Ongoing construction at the Missoula Fairgrounds grandstand and event areas has caused a needed change to the venue for the University of Montana Rodeo Team's annual Spring Rodeo. Hopefully the tremendous support the rodeo has enjoyed the last few years will continue, and maybe gain added fans down the highway.

This year's UM Spring Rodeo is scheduled to be held Friday and Saturday, April 26-27, at the Ravalli County Fairgrounds in Hamilton. Performances get underway at 7:00 both evenings.

WHAT'S AT STAKE

The UM rodeo is the last stop on the Big Sky Regional Rodeo Circuit. Montana's men's and women's teams will be competing against 9 other schools across the Big Sky Region.
