The Black Hills Stock Show Rodeo in Rapid City was named the Top Indoor PRCA Rodeo of the Year in 2002 and 2003.

In 2005, the Black Hills Stock Show Rodeo was among the top 30 PRCA rodeos in the country in total prize money, according to a news release.

Meanwhile, preparations are under way by rodeo producer Sutton Rodeos for the 2007 Black Hills Stock Show Rodeo and PRCA Extreme Bull Riding (Division I) at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center.

The Extreme Bull Riding will be held Friday and Saturday, Jan. 26-27, on the first weekend of the Black Hills Stock Show. Bull riders will compete for a purse of $40,000 plus entry fees, compared with last year's $10,000 purse for the Division II event, according to a news release from Sutton Rodeo.

On Saturday afternoon, Jan. 27, the Great Plains Indian Shoot-out rodeo will be featured.

On Sunday, Jan. 28, the Suttons again will produce the 20X Extreme High School Showcase featuring the top South Dakota high school contestants.

The Black Hills Stock Show Rodeo will run from Thursday, Feb. 1, through Sunday, Feb. 4. The seven performances typically draw many of the qualifiers for the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in December.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
