B-Ys 4-H Club Youth Rodeo Celebrates 50th Year

The longest-running youth rodeo in the state of Montana is celebrating its 50th year in 2023! The BY's 4-H Club Youth Rodeo is scheduled to take place May 6 at the Whitehall Rodeo Grounds. Grand Entry at 9:45 AM.

According to organizers, in 1962 members of the BY's 4-H Club organized a youth rodeo, never knowing it would be such a long-running and well-known rodeo.

This year's event is open to those 8 to 18 years old with brackets ages 8-12 and 13-18 (as of January 1st of the current year). Events scheduled for the 2023 rodeo are steer riding, cow riding, calf daubing, breakaway roping, barrel racing, pole bending, goat tail tying, goat tying, team roping, and a ribbon race.

Entries were due April 21 and no late entries are being accepted. For more information, contact Bill Gillespie at (406) 491-2918 or Jennifer Tregear at (406)565-8582 or tregearjennifer@gmail.com.
