Tom Glause is the interim CEO of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and he spent this past week in Fort Worth, Texas attending the PRCA Sponsor Summit that was held the the Cowboy Channel Justin Boots Studio.
The event was full of enthusiasm, a huge amount of support for professional rodeo and there was a great turnout. There have been great turnouts not just at the summit but at rodeos across America this year. Crowds have packed sold out grandstands almost everywhere and for some rodeos, this was the first time to ever do so.
At the end of this year the PRCA membership numbers will be approaching what they were before 2020 and they will have held over 650 events paying out over $29 million. At this year’s Wrangler National Finals, the payout will be a record setting $13.3 million and to top it off there will be an earlier start time for those on the east coast as well as longer shopping hours at Cowboy Christmas for those attending in person.
There are less 100 days until the 2021 Wrangler NFR returns to Las Vegas and the Cowboy Channel along side the PRCA can’t wait!
