CASPER, Wyo. — It’s that time again: The College National Finals Rodeo is coming back to Casper on June 15–21, and tickets are on sale now.

That’s according to a release from the Ford Wyoming Center, which states that this event is “bringing the nation’s top collegiate rodeo athletes to the Ford Wyoming Center for a week of thrilling competition.”

Casper, via the Ford Wyoming Center, has hosted the CNFR for the last 25 years.
