Muddy Creek ProRodeo Back in Town for the Burke Stampede Ro-deo It was Chancy Wilson who planted the seed of encouragement that The Burke Stampede Rodeo go PRO. He recognized that our rodeo had been doing everything profes-sionally except inviting the cowboys and cowgirls of the PRCA (Profes-sional Rodeo Cowboys Association) and the WPRA (Women's Profes-sional Rodeo Association) to com-pete on our arena floor. Chancy had been providing stock for our amateur rodeo for several years. The Burke Stampede Committee took his advice to heart and for the first time in our 32 year history, The Burke Stam-pede was sanctioned by Professional Rodeo in 2021. It was all we had hoped for and dreamed of and more. And this year Chancy and crew known as Muddy Creek ProRodeo will be back to help us continue the Legend that is THE BURKE STAMPEDE RODEO.
