Entry Fee

The entry fee of $ 20.00 includes a rodeo hat and/or visor, rodeo ticket, entry for door prizes, reception, dinner and dance on Saturday night.

The 2019 event produced winning fish, very happy anglers, and a $ 7,000 donation to the American Cancer Society's Patrick Taylor Hope Lodge in New Orleans, Mary Bird Perkins

Cancer Center at TGMC, Thibodeaux Regional Cancer Center, and the “Wig Room” at the Lady of the Sea General Hospital located in Galliano. The rodeo’s goal to raise awareness and support for breast cancer was achieved.
