The Jackie Perkins Memorial Ranch Rodeo in Coffeyville, Kansas, is a celebration of tradition and community, and those values are deeply felt by all who attend. The WRCA-sanctioned ranch rodeo in Coffeyville is the last before the World Championship and is only open to unqualified teams.
Since its founding in 2008 by Jackie Perkins, Coffeyville has been the perfect home for the ranch rodeo, thanks to its excellent arena and central location. The event holds a special place in the hearts of attendees and those who knew Perkins, whose legacy continues to be cherished. Perkins’ passion for ranching and love for the lifestyle were obvious and motivated her to put on the ranch rodeo annually. Perkins lived just 12 miles from the rodeo grounds and ran cattle with her family. For more about Perkins story, see the WRCA article Jackie Perkins’ Legacy of Strength.

I found out about the annual Spicer Gripp Memorial Roping in Hereford, Texas from a viewer who said it was a high-quality competition with a mixture of invitational and open events for amateurs and professionals alike. That was a great suggestion and I am providing a few samples here of the action in the arena and on the grounds during the several days of competition held on the first weekend in August.
