The Gooding Pro Rodeo is not your average County Fair and Rodeo. With the philosophy of “In order to achieve the best, hire the best” In 2006, not one but three of the most respected contractors in the business were brought to Gooding. This tradition will continue in 2008, Burns Rodeo, Korkow Rodeo Company, and J3T timed event cattle will combine to bring Gooding fans the best rodeo action available. Along with the top stock of these contractors, announcer Steve Kenyon, Sound Jill Schrock, and Funny Man Donnie Landis will add to the excitement of the 2004 Wilderness Circuit Small Rodeo of the Year.


· Since the 2005 and the rodeo format change the Gooding rodeo gate has seen an 86% increase.
· As an advertiser the most important part is getting you message out. Company flags are flown during each performance by Gooding’s own “Wild Thangs” flag girls, two of these girls will be going back to Las Vegas to work the WNFR for the second time.
· All of the rodeo personal are the top in their field (most have worked the WNFR or DNCFR) and are committed to bring Gooding rodeo fans an experience they cannot find in any other rodeo around.
· Most of the sponsors of the Gooding rodeo have been so for numerous years.
· In 2007 292 PRCA contestants entered the Gooding Pro Rodeo
· Of the 292 contestants entered in 07 46 contestants had been to the WNFR in the past
· Burns and Korkow Rodeo company’s consistently send stock to the WNFR each contractor sends only their top animals to Gooding
· 26 WNFR animals were out in Gooding in 07 and numerous DCNFR animals
· Over $4700.00 was raised to fight breast cancer in Gooding in 2007, the first TETWP campaign for the Gooding Pro Rodeo .

The 07 Gooding Pro Rodeo saw an increase in gate, contestants and fun with sellout crowds for all three nights. The rowdy section brought even more signs than in 2006, Jill Schrock, of Jills Sound was especially impressed with the "JILL ROCKS" sign as she said that was a first for the sound tech to have their own sign. 292 contestants made their way to Gooding including many current and former world champs and WNFR contenders.

The Gooding rodeo is already looking toward 08 with all of the personel and stock returning Aug 14, 15, and 16th for the 84th Gooding Pro Rodeo. A few of the changes in 08 will be that Gooding will be part of the Heartland Rodeo series and will increase the added money to $4,000.00 per event making it one of the larger heartland rodeos.
