Western Montana rodeo action picks up in July
By the Missoulian

While professional rodeo action begins to heat up around most of Montana, it's still a ways away for western Montana.

The Arlee PRCA rodeo got things going on the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit on Memorial Day weekend. Action on that circuit resumed last weekend with the Little Belt Rodeo.

The MPRC won't be back to western Montana until July 4-5 for the Mission Mountain Rodeo in Polson. The Drummond Rodeo is set for July 6.

Other PRCA rodeos in western Montana are set for July 25-26 in Libby, Aug. 8-9 in Missoula, Aug. 14-16 in Kalispell, and Aug. 29-30 in Plains.

Action on the Northern Rodeo Association circuit really heats up this month with rodeos on tap virtually every weekend through Labor Day.

The circuit first visits western Montana on July 25-26 for both the Tobacco Valley Rodeo in Eureka and the Blue Moon Rodeo in Columbia Falls.

Other NRA events in western Montana are set for Aug. 1-2 in Superior, Aug. 15-16 in Deer Lodge, Aug. 28-30 in Hamilton and Aug. 31-Sept. 1 in Helmville.
