You May Have Come to Big Hat Rodeo as a SPECTATOR

We Want YOU to Leave a FAN!

In our 104th year producing pro rodeos across the Midwest we are extremely proud that Big Hat Rodeo Co is still entirely owned and operated by the Calzavara family!

Thank You! Janesville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau!

We are thrilled to announce that the Janesville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau has once again extended its gracious support to the Great Midwest Pro Rodeo. In both 2023 and this year, 2024, they have generously provided an advertising grant, helping us to promote and enhance the event for our community and visitors alike.

Their continued support underscores the importance of local partnerships in making the Great Midwest Pro Rodeo a memorable experience for everyone. We are deeply grateful for their commitment and look forward to another successful event this year.

Thank you, Janesville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, for your invaluable contribution!

Each season Big Hat Rodeo creates a contestant awards series. The “All In” Tour is based on input from contestants, sponsors and rodeo committees. Contestants competing in participating rodeos earn bonus points for each rodeo they compete in and additional points every time they place in any event. Participating rodeos and contestants alike have reaped benefits from the incentive program. Ask Lenora about special contestant incentives for 2024.

We offer advertising support and can furnish you with a complete promotional package featuring everything you’ll need. You’ll get a checklist of “things to do” prior to your rodeo with a suggested timetable, a list of fun promotional activities you can choose from and a terrific rodeo action DVD. Most importantly, we have a staff of rodeo professionals who are available to answer questions, offer suggestions and just listen to help minimize costs and maximize revenues.
