If you were born before 1980, chances are part of your childhood was at play as a cowboy.  The marriage of man, horse, cattle and adventure was a tempting topic to act out.

Most of us didn’t go on to become cowboys but the real deal - the top rodeo performers in the Northwest - are headed back to the SunDome for the Columbia River Circuit Finals Friday and Saturday, November 4 & 5.

The Columbia River Circuit Finals presents the top 12 cowboys and cowgirls in all the PRCA events including bareback, saddle bronc, tie down roping, bull riding, team roping, barrel racing, and steer wrestling.  Each contestant will be competing for a chance to go on to compete at the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Kissimmee, Florida next March.

Tickets are on sale and can be purchased through TicketsWest or at State Fair Park.  Show times are 7 p.m. on Friday, November 4, and 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, November 5.   For more information go to www.columbiarivercircuit.com.
