Rodeo fans don’t have to wait much longer to see their favorite sport.

The annual McClain County Heart of Oklahoma Rodeo will be Friday and Saturday at the McClain County Expo Center.

Nightly events start at 8 p.m. each night with mutton bustin’ at 7 p.m. both nights.

Purcell has hosted this rodeo for the last 13 years with the exception of 2020.

The Indian Territory Roundup Club puts it on for the county.

For the fifth year in a row stock is contracted from Big Horn Rodeo Company.

Kyle Robinson of Lamar, OK spearheads the Big Horn Rodeo Company.

“Our rodeo will be IPRA, ACRA and KPRA sanctioned,” organizer Julie Owens said.

Tickets are $10 at the gate and $8 in advance.

Selling the advanced tickets are rodeo queen candidates Gracie Schiffer, Hadley Taylor and Elizabeth Fondren.

Children 10 years old and under are admitted free of charge.

“The royalty candidates are also selling sponsorships for the rodeo,” Owens confirmed.
