‘World’s Toughest Rodeo’ comes to St. Paul this weekend

Saddle up for the ‘World’s Toughest Rodeo’ as it makes its way to St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center this weekend.  Show starts at 7:30 pm on Friday and Saturday, February 3rd and 4th.

Champion cowboys will display their skills, like TV’s ‘Toughest Cowboy’ competitor Charlie Baker, who will attempt competing on six animals each night during the rodeo triathalon.  The nationally recognized talents of Anthony Lucia are also featured as he demonstrates trick and fancy roping.  More exciting entertainment includes bareback and saddle bronc riding, as well as the popular and dangerous bull riding.  Cowgirls will also be there to barrel race and those crazy rodeo clowns will bring the laughs.

Before each nights show, kids are welcome to participate in the ‘Cowboy Kids Zone’.  Here real cowboys give the children lessons on how to lasso a steer, barrel race and much more.
