Rodeo fans, we are just days away from kicking off the 81st annual Gerry Rodeo!
The office is open daily at 9 AM. There’s someone here at the grounds for your convenience. Any issues, please feel free to stop in.
The midway will be full of fun and food for all ages. It will open roughly 5 PM each night. We have pony rides, cotton candy, barbecue beef, sandwiches, rodeo swag, along with leather goods, and MANY, MANY more.
Our delicious barbecue beef dinner is served nightly from 5 to 8 PM.
Tickets for the show are date specific, however, dinner tickets may be used any night.
We open the gates at roughly 6:30 PM each night so you can take your spot. It’s all general admission.
We suggest going directly to https://t.co/UR1DFDuHth to ensure you do not get misled on a different website.
There are four action-packed performances beginning Wednesday, August 5 and running through Saturday, August 8. There is one show each night at 8 PM.
You may purchase tickets in person at the rodeo barn (the office is located on the ground floor). Please remember, tickets are date specific, and it is recommended to purchase them in advance.
The wait is almost over! We kick off the rodeo action at 8pm Wednesday! The 80th Annual Gerry Rodeo begins July 30 and runs through August 2. Tickets are date-specific this year, so we encourage you to purchase them ahead of time!
Rodeo office is open for business! If you stop by starting Monday at 9am, there will be a friendly face to greet you. We hope to be able to answer any of your questions, and sell you tickets if you prefer an in-person sale. Also, a real person will answer the phone if you call!
All proceeds go to the Gerry Volunteer Fire Department which answers approximately 300 emergency calls annually.

Rodeo fans will be thrilled by trick rider Cortney Schum who is making her first trip to Gerry to help celebrate the Gerry Fire Department’s 80th consecutive pro rodeo for four performances next week, Wednesday through Saturday, at 8pm.
Tickets should be ordered on-line at https://t.co/SWdM96pKJL prior to the event. Tickets will still be available at the ticket booths if that night’s performance is not sold out. Additional information is available by phone at (716) 985-4847.
Fans should be aware of the new policy regarding tickets. Because of over-crowding for some performances, tickets will now be “date specific”, meaning that tickets will only be valid on the night you choose. Tickets for Wednesday and Thursday will be $3 cheaper.
The famous beef dinners cooked over wood fires are a must for many of the fans and are served each evening beginning at 5:00 in the air-conditioned conference center. The lighted midway has about 20 vendors offering everything from cotton candy to cowboy wear.
The rodeo competition will bring approximately 250 professional cowboys and cowgirls from more than 30 states to compete for $50,000 in prize money in the eight traditional rodeo events.
Presently she is a student at Murray State University in West Virginia where she is a member of the school’s rodeo team, competing in breakaway roping and barrel racing. She is studying to be an optometrist.
