To the Incredible Tri-State Rodeo Community, Volunteers, and Committee,

As I step down from my role following my final year as your General Chairman, I am filled with overwhelming gratitude. Reflecting on the incredible energy of this past week, I am moved by the support this community continuously pours into the Tri-State Rodeo.

An event of this magnitude is only as strong as the people behind it, and I can say without hesitation that our volunteers and committee are the absolute best in the world. Your dedication, late nights, and passion are what make this rodeo a tradition year after year. To our community, sponsors, and fans—thank you for showing up and doing your part!

Serving as your Chairman has been the greatest honor of my life. Thank you for the memories, the hard work, and the support that I will always carry with me.

THANK YOU!!
Bobby Holtkamp
Chairman 2024-2026
