Hundreds of women from more than 30 states and Canada will be riding and roping throughout the week.

"Friday and Saturday we have performances, we’ll have tie-down calf roping, break-away roping, team roping, and a lot of barrel racing. Anybody that enjoys rodeo or has never seen a rodeo they’ll all enjoy it," says WPRA Director Emogene Fyffe.
