More than 50,000 people attended the rodeo this year, making it one of the bigger events in the area.
It’s a long-time tradition, said Cindy Schonholtz, general manager of the rodeo. “There simply isn’t a better place to spend the Fourth of July than at the St. Paul Rodeo. Fans enjoy the patriotism, the bucking horses and bulls, the fireworks, even the novelty of arbor vitae trees in the arena. They appreciate being part of the history and tradition of St. Paul and the American West, and they are delighted and surprised when they come to the rodeo, because it’s so much more than rodeo.”
Tickets range in price from $16 to $26. All seats are reserved, so purchasing tickets early guarantees a better selection of seating, Schonholtz said.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.StPaulRodeo.com. For more information, visit the website or call 800.237.5920.
The rodeo is a fundraiser for many service and youth organizations around the area; it is produced by nearly one hundred percent volunteer labor.
