About the Rodeo
Nearly a Century of
Rodeo Tradition
The Gold Country Pro Rodeo has been a cornerstone of Auburn, California since 1932, proudly carrying on a rich western tradition. Formerly known as the Wild West Stampede, this historic event has delivered authentic rodeo entertainment to generations of families, riders, and fans. For nearly a century, the rodeo has brought the community together to celebrate competition, heritage, and the spirit of the American West.
In 2014, when the rodeo faced an uncertain future, the Rosser family of Flying U Rodeo, Inc. stepped in to preserve its legacy. Partnering with EzEvents, Inc., they rebranded and relaunched the event as the Gold Country Pro Rodeo. Today, the rodeo is growing and thriving—honoring its past while continuing to build an exciting future.
