2021 is in the books...
On behalf of the Western Fest Committee, we would like to extend a huge thank you to Granite Falls and all the surrounding communities, near and far, for their support of the Granite Falls PRCA Stampede Rodeo – the 3rd Largest Rodeo in MN!
2021 was RECORD BREAKING in all areas! A typical 3 day attendance at the rodeo is around 4,400 people. However this year, our attendance was busting at 5,250 guests!
We are so proud to have had contestants from 26 states and 3 Canadian Provinces, Brazil and Australia! And our Hometown Hero, Tanner Aus, won the Bareback event by scoring 86.5 points! Congrats Tanner – we are so proud of you!
As we wrap up our year, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to so many people that helped out during the Western Fest celebration. A BIG thank you to the Mooney/Knutson family, Kiwanis, the Legion/VFW, GF Ambulance, GF Fire, GF Baseball Association, Yellow Medicine Sheriff department, our rodeo Partner and Sponsors, Rock Haven Church at the concession stand, Daphne Timm & Karen Bakker for the parade coordination, the Western Fest Royalty Volunteers Katy & Lisa, GF Chamber, YME FFA & YME Trap team for clean-up and many, many more people for their involvement. Thank you to everyone that helped in their own way.
33 years of hard work and dedication … thanks again to everyone. Can’t wait to see you all next year.
