The Owner's & Jockey's association continue to run the World Famous Suicide Race after each of the 4 rodeo performances.
Wrangler will again sponsor our Thursday Kids Night at 4:00pm in the Rodeo Arena for all cowboys and cowgirls age 12 and under. Participate in games, visit the rodeo clown and spend time with 2012 Miss Omak Stampede, Katie Fergus. All kids go home with drinks and prizes! Then take your parents to the Thursday Night Rodeo where they can buy an adult ticket and get 2 kids 12 & under free in Sections G & H!!
Omak Stampede will again support the Tough Enough To Wear Pink program with our Friday night rodeo performance and items sold in The Company Store.
Also returning to the rodeo grounds and the community will be Davis Shows Carnival (pre-sale discount coupons will again be available at the rodeo ticket office a few weeks in advance), Western & Native Art Show downtown, Thursday morning Ride-In, Rockwall Cellars Art Show and Release of Stampede Red and the colorful sites and sounds of the Colville Indian Encampment with stick games, drumming & dancing.
