The Tri-State Rodeo Association’s 60th-year Finals combine six rodeo disciplines with a Flag Girl competition at intermission. Saturday adds a tribute to Legacy Award recipients and closing awards.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
The program pairs two different Flag Girl elements: try-outs held alongside the Finals and a competition during rodeo intermission. They join a six-discipline arena card, with Saturday’s schedule also recognizing the Tri-State Rodeo Association’s 60th year.
Each night’s announced competitions are ranch broncs, calf roping, breakaway roping, team roping, barrel racing and bull riding. The three roping events are listed separately, so the program ranges across distinct disciplines rather than one roping contest.
Katie Lynn English is listed for trick riding, and Ronald Burton for a featured arena act. Both are placed between events, but the published outline does not give their individual performance times or a full running order.

The Finals are held alongside the Dixie National Flag Girl Try-outs; separately, the Dixie National Flag Girl Competition is scheduled for intermission. The listing does not specify how the try-outs work or whether spectators can participate, so anyone interested in trying out should confirm eligibility and registration details before attending.

The association identifies 1966–2026 as its 60-year span. On Saturday, a tribute to Legacy Award recipients is planned for early evening, followed by awards presentations at the close. Those are separate additions to the rodeo program; the listing gives no exact times for either.

The outline places trick riding and the featured arena act between competitions, with the Flag Girl Competition at intermission. It does not provide a timed running order; Saturday’s tribute and closing awards are additional program points.
The Mississippi Fairgrounds lists the event for November 20–21, 2026, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the rodeo starting at 7 p.m. each night. Saturday’s tribute is described as early evening and awards as the closing program, but neither has an exact time.
