What is rodeo slack? It’s the time outside of normal performances when extra contestants compete in the rodeo. Since there are a limited number of slots available for each rodeo event during the performances (and sometimes more contestants than slots), these extra participants perform in the slack.
Featured Entertainment

CRR Flashback
Did you know?
During the war years there had not been any Rodeos and in 1944 with $320, a lot of energy and ambition, a group of local ranchers decided that Prineville needed a top notch Rodeo and decided to put one on. The purse for the Roundup in 1947 was $3,000. In 1993 it had grown to $5,000, and for the 1995 "Golden Anniversary" Rodeo the added purse had $8,250 and the purse for the Re-Ride 75 anniversary $50,000 with over $100,000 in payoff winnings!
