Event Details:
The Women's Professional Rodeo Association, which started in 1948 as a group of Texas ranch women who wanted to add a little color and femininity to the rough-and-tumble sport of rodeo, is now a computerized association with more than 2,000 members.
The group organized and called itself the Girl's Rodeo Association. It began with 74 original members with 60 approved contests and total payout of $29,000. This has evolved into a million-dollar industry with women athletes riding well-conditioned race horses. In 1995, the WPRA had approved barrel races in 800 rodeos sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association with total barrel racing prize money of $3 million.
Another section of the WPRA which is growing in popularity is the Wrangler Divisional Tour. Approved barrel races are held throughout the country with the top four money-earners from each of the 12 circuits in the United States qualifying for the Divisional Tour Finals held at the same time as the PWRA Finals in Fort Worth, Texas.
Rodeo performances are scheduled for 7pm. Tickets can be purchased at the box office or on line at www.exposquare.com
