Ten years ago, The Burke Stampede Rodeo Committee was lucky enough to land a rising star of rodeo…. Justin Rumford from Ponca City, Oklahoma as our rodeo funny man and entertainer. 9 time PRCA Clown of the Year and a set of triplets later, Rumford affectionately known as “Rump” will be returning to the Burke Stampede.
