Professional Bullfighter

To Rowdy bullfighting is a way of life. He is an American Professional Bullfighter member, a veteran of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and has been around rodeo all his life. Rowdy was the 1995 Canadian National Finals Wrangler Bullfighter, 1992 NFR Wrangler Bullfighter, 1993-94 Dodge National Circuit Finals Wrangler Bullfight Champion, 5 time National High School Rodeo Bullfighter and was voted 8 times Columbia River Circuit Finals Bullfighter. Rowdy and his wife, Laura Lee, live in Kennewick where they raise hay, cattle, bucking and fighting bulls.

                    Bullfighter Ryan Wilson

 

                     

Ryan Wilson is a resident of Kennewick, Washington and makes his home at the Wild R Ranch. He travels rodeo to rodeo every weekend entertaining crowds and saving professional cowboys. Ryan has been fighting bulls for several years now and has an impressive resume with some of the top events in the P.B.R. and the P.R.C.A. Ryan has a life outside the arena as well, while he is not saving cowboys and dodging a 2000 pound bull he is participating in something else exciting whether it be riding young colts and roping cows or taking care of the ranch he calls home. And if all else fails you can find him hanging out with friends and a big smile on his face. Ryan is ready and can’t wait to see you at your rodeo this year.

 

Frontier Days Rodeo Barrel Man:   Walla Walla's own JJ Harrison     

           

JJ Harrison has made fast work of a clowning career.  Entering his third year in the PRCA he has quickly become one of the most sought after rodeo clowns.  His quick wit, walk and talk antics have proven to be his best act.  With the help of fat suits and dancing, he entertains with high energy family fun that can entertain across the whole age spectrum.  As a former teacher he knows the balance of physical humor and acts to keep even the avid rodeo fan entertained.  One of his favorite quotes is: “It’s not an act, it really is just who I am. I really am that goofy.”   This entertainer is sure to be a welcome site to any rodeo!

              

            

                                                                                                        
Walla Walla Rodeo History: In 1913 the wild and wooly Frontier Days Rodeo came to town. It's been kickin' around ever since. In 1938 the rodeo made a dramatic appearance when the first complete lighted night rodeo was held. It's come a long way over the years…and it's ours.
