It is no secret that we LOVE this rodeo famously called the STAMPEDE in Burke, South Dakota! When you love what you do, well, it makes for FUN!! What great FUN we have had with all of you over the past 34 years at the legendary Burke Stampede Rodeo. In this, our 35th year, we are makin’ history. We have retired our old bucking chutes…they have served us well and have been loaded with many, many great broncs and bulls and the cowboys who tame em’! They represent 34 years of Stampede memories and Stampede fun! Recognizing that is was time to look toward the next 35 years of Stampede fun, our committee commissioned Macksteel out of Watertown, South Dakota to build (not 6) but 8 brand spankin’ new buckin’ chutes. These chutes are bigger, safer and just plain “Stampede fancy”! They complete Phase 1 of our big dreams for the Burke Stampede Rodeo Arena.
