    The rodeo is held on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with performances at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, and 2:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. There is also a rodeo parade in "downtown" Effie at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.

    Rodeo admission is $12.00 for adults and $6.00 for children ages 6 to 13.

    Three-Day Pass:
    Adults: $30.00; Children (6-13) $15.00

    (All prices subject to change.)

    Parking is free and there is also free camping on the rodeo grounds on a first come, first served basis.
