Our Story
The Cherokee PRCA Rodeo, the longest-running PRCA Rodeo in Iowa, has been a cherished tradition since the 1950s. Originally known as the Barnes PRCA Rodeo, it found its home in Cherokee in 1965. In late 2022, a dedicated rodeo committee established Cherokee Rodeo Inc. to ensure the continuation of this beloved event, focusing on promoting agriculture and providing educational opportunities for local youth.
