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 2015 RAM PRCA California Circuit Finals Rodeo.

The 2015 RAM PRCA California Circuit Finals Rodeo was held at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds, Lancaster, CA on October 17 & 18, 2015.  Due to devastating rain storms, mud slides, road closures, and power outages in and around our Antelope Valley communities, there was no other option but to postpone the first performance of the Finals Rodeo (which was scheduled for October 16, 2015).  We thank all of our contestants, volunteers, sponsors, contract personnel, families & friends, and, of course, all of our rodeo fans, for their support and patience as we dealt with all of the issues surrounding this massive storm, keeping the safety of our animal athletes, contestants, and fans as our first priority.  As always, the cowboy way came into play, and with everyone's assistance, we were able to get it done!  We would also like to acknowledge the Showdown Rodeo Committee for their non-stop commitment to our Finals Rodeo.

At the awards ceremony after Sunday's performance, each of the Year End Champions 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 Hayward ( website ).

Please join us in congratulating all of the contestants and we proudly present your 2015 PRCA /WPRA California Circuit Year End Champions!!!
