Wrangler National Finals Rodeo Gets Underway

The 50th national finals rodeo is underway in Las Vegas. The first round will be shown at 10:00 tonight, mountain time, on ESPN2. A record number of Wyoming contestants are competing. You can read all about how they are doing and obtain special features throughout the WNFR by checking here every morning through December 14.

Wyoming Travel & Tourism has partnered with Wrangler to showcase the state and our cowboys at the annual Cowboy Christmas extravaganza in the Las Vegas Convention Center. (Wrangler booth #425) You can meet the contestants who will be handing out free autograph sheets every day, gather up a packet of Wyoming travel information and spend time in the Wrangler store picking up everything you need to dress right for tonight's rodeo. There is no admission charge to Cowboy Christmas.

Please check here for a short bio of the Wyoming cowboys who are sponsored by Wyoming Travel & Tourism.

Signing today at Cowboy Christmas are reigning world champion steer wrestler Jason Miller, his traveling partner - and first time WNFR qualifier - Les Shepperson, and bull rider Kanin Asay.

Powder River, Let 'er Buck!!!
