The Newton County Rodeo

When a cowboy hits the dirt, our bullfighters don’t have time to think twice. They step between the rider and a whole lot of horns, muscle, and attitude—and we’re thankful to have the Covington Lions Club sponsoring the bullfighters who help keep our cowboys safe!

As our Bullfighter Sponsor for the 4th Annual Newton County Rodeo, the Covington Lions Club is helping bring one of the most important—and fearless—parts of the rodeo to the arena.

A big THANK YOU to the Covington Lions Club for continuing to serve our community and for supporting the Newton County Rodeo!

A big Newton County Rodeo thank you goes to McDonald's, our Breakaway Roping Sponsor for the 4th Annual Newton County Rodeo!

Breakaway Roping is all about speed, precision, and great horsemanship. These talented cowgirls race against the clock to make the perfect catch and when that rope breaks away from the saddle, the time stops!

We’re especially thankful to have a familiar Covington business supporting an event that brings thousands of people together right here in our community.

Thank you, McDonald’s of Covington, for sponsoring the Breakaway Roping and helping us DO RODEO DIFFERENTLY!

We’re proud to recognize Newton Electric Supply as the Calf Roping Sponsor of the 4th Annual Newton County Rodeo!

Calf Roping is a true test of horsemanship, timing, and skill. From the second that gate opens, the rider and horse have to work together and with the clock running, every second counts! 🐎💨

We especially love having a Newton County business supporting a Newton County tradition. Local sponsors like Newton Electric Supply help us bring professional rodeo action to our community while supporting the youth and agricultural programs that are at the heart of why we do this event.

We are proud to recognize The Cardinal Foundation as one of just four Platinum Sponsors of the 4th Annual Newton County Rodeo!

Putting on an event of this size takes far more than cowboys, livestock, and an arena. It takes organizations that believe in what we're building and are willing to invest in making it happen.

The support of The Cardinal Foundation helps us create the kind of rodeo experience our community has come to expect—while allowing the impact of this event to reach far beyond two nights in September.

The Newton County Rodeo helps us support local 4-H and FFA programs, provide up to 20 scholarships for high school seniors, and continue creating opportunities for young people to experience agriculture first hand throughout the year. From livestock shows and competitions to horseback riding, Horse Camp, and agricultural education, our goal is to give the next generation a place to learn, compete, grow, and belong.

Sponsors like The Cardinal Foundation help make that possible.

We are incredibly grateful for their investment in our rodeo, our facility, and the community we serve. Thank you, Cardinal Foundation, for helping us do rodeo differently!
