The Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo Committee has announced it’s cancelling the 2023 Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo. The decision is based on a jury verdict in Davison County Circuit Court in favor of the committee against its landlord, Horsemen’s Sports, Inc.
The rodeo committee proposed to hold one final rodeo at the current site. HSI and the Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo Committee were unable to reach agreement on terms of a once-year lease.
However, the Rodeo Committee will hold its annual Rodeo Parade on July 15th, with the theme, “The Future is Now.”
It also intends to hold Family Fun Day and the Chili Cook Off at the new rodeo location north of the Pepsi Cola Soccer Complex near the Mitchell Regional Airport.
