After traveling up and down the State of California competing in many, if not all, of the prestigious rodeos within the PRCA California Circuit this past year, many of the top contestants met at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds in Lancaster, CA, for the 2014 PRCA RAM California Circuit Finals Rodeo. Thousands of rodeo fans were on hand to watch their favorites compete in three performances. At the awards presentation ceremony, each Champion was presented with their Championship Buckle provided by our National Sponsor Montana Silversmiths (website). Each Champion was also presented with a beautiful, custom-made Corriente Trophy Saddle provided by Sponsors Western Pacific Roofing Corp, Palm Springs (website); Western Pacific Roofing Corp, Palmdale; Stone Roofing Co Inc. (website), Azusa; and American Services of CA in Dublin and Sacramento (website).
Congratulations to all of the Year End Champions! We know that your families, friends, and fans are very proud of you!
