Serving as barrel man will be Danger Dave Whitmoyer, whose honors include being a 2024 PRCA Comedy Act of the Year Nominee, a 2024 Coors Man in the Can Nominee and a 2017 Top 5 PRCA Comedy Act of the Year. Dave’s highly energetic slapstick style of entertainment includes fun crowd interaction, occasional revivals tipping the hat to past rodeo entertainers, and a fluid, comedic freestyle sort of ad libbing that works well for a traveling show, ensuring every audience enjoys a unique performance that they’re unlikely to experience at any other rodeo.

The announcer for this year’s rodeo will be Monroe Magnuson and stock contractor is the Broken Heart Rodeo Co. This year’s specialty act will be Felix Santana and his famous Friesian Stallions.
