AMARILLO, TEXAS -- It is time once again for the 14th Annual World Championship Ranch Rodeo.  24 Ranch Teams are competing.

Some new things this year include temporary stalls in the east parking lot, where you can see the cowboy's horses.

The Budweiser Clydesdales will be in the North exhibit hall some towering over six feet tall.  Through the fun and games, the rodeo is still all for a good cause.

"The reason we do this is to raise funds for the working ranch foundation where we have a crisis and scholarship fund. we have 36 kids on scholarship right now, all across the united state. then our crisis fund is to help cowboys and their families in times of need," said Randy Whipple, WRCA President.

The rodeo starts Thursday, November 12th and runs through Sunday.  You can get tickets at the Amarillo Civic Center box office.
