Flint Hills Rodeo Grounds - Strong City, Kansas

Flint Hills Rodeo Grounds - Strong City, Kansas

This is the oldest rodeo grounds in use in Kansas.  It began in 1937 as a way to show off the talents of the local cowboys.  It is now a 3 day event on an annual basis.  Evening performances are held Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Following the evening performances, there is a cowboy dance. On Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m., the annual rodeo parade from Cottonwood Falls through Strong City is held, an occasion when nearly every horse in Chase County comes to town to strut their stuff! There is also cowboy church on Sunday morning.

The first full weekend in June kicks off the rodeo season at the Flint Hills Rodeo Arena in Strong City, Kansas.  More than 15,000 spectators watch as top rodeo contestants, such as Dan Mortensen, Scott Breding, Ote Berry and the Etbauer brothers, compete for thousands of dollars in six traditional rodeo events.  Included in the three-day rodeo performances are special acts, cowboy dances, a rodeo parade and more.
