OKLAHOMA CITY — Twelve teams of real Oklahoma ranch cowboys will compete in five different events mirroring many of the activities of daily ranch life this weekend at the Lazy E Arena. Performances are Friday, Aug. 20 and Saturday, Aug. 21 at 7 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. for shopping in the trade show.
The competition is fierce and eventful but the cowboys do not take home much more than bumps and bragging rights. They participate with one goal: to support the Childrenâs Hospital Foundation (CHF).
âCHF has been the benefitting charity of the event since 1997 and in that time the OCA Ranch Rodeo has raised more than $553,000.00 for the Childrenâs Hospital Foundation,â said Weston Givens, OCA Ranch Rodeo Committee Chairman. âWhen you purchase a ticket to the OCA Ranch Rodeo, you are supporting Oklahoma children and their families.â
CHF funds childrenâs medical research and treatment for children right here in Oklahoma. The funds raised for CHF in Oklahoma, stay in Oklahoma.
âSo, bring the family for a fun evening, cheer on your favorite ranch team and know that you are supporting a worthy cause,â Givens said.
The 2021 participating ranches include: Spur Ranch, Vinita; Gray G Bar Ranch, Shidler; Buford Ranches, LLC, Hominy; Stuart Ranch, Waurika; Drummond Land & Cattle, Pawhuska; Hall Ranch, Comanche will partner up with Daube Ranch, Ardmore; Treadwell Land & Cattle, Frederick; Fields Ranch, Wynona; Lazy Rafter Slash Ranch, Lenapah; Trentman Ranch, Pawhuska will team up with Stierwalt Ranch & Cattle Co, Shidler; Whitmire Ranch, Delaware; and McPhail Land & Cattle, Mountain Park.
According to Givens, the Oklahoma Ford Dealers have supported the OCA Ranch Rodeo since the beginning as the presenting sponsor. He credits the support of the Oklahoma Ford Dealers for the success of their event and the ability to give large donations to the charity.
âSaturday is a full day! Families could really make a day or a whole weekend of it,â said Givens.
