With the start of a new rodeo season, we are making a few changes. The first of those changes is that you will now be able to find highlights from each meeting right here on our website. Courtney Otto made a motion to post highlights of each meeting to the website so that members have the ability to look back at them at any time. This motion was seconded by Jeff Thurlow and passed.
Here are the highlights from our November 15th, 2022 meeting.

We will be changing the wording on the 2023 Membership Application Forms from saying MN High School Rodeo to National High School Rodeo since we do honor the discounted rates for all High School Rodeo members. You will still need to provide proof of membership to receive the discounted rate.
Discussion was held on how many 1st Approved rodeos need to be attended for the 2023 season. Travis Skinner made a motion that only one 1st approved MRA rodeo must be attended to attend the finals, Dakota Locken seconded the motion. This motion was passed.
