CORN PALACE STAMPEDE RODEO

Stampede is back on schedule
Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo is set for 50th annual event after 2020 cancellation BY RYAN DEAL Mitchell Republic
The 50th annual Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo is back on schedule. One year after COVID19 wiped out Mitchell’s annual four-day event, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Associationsanctioned rodeo is back. “We’re very excited,” said Jim Miskimins, who is president of Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo, Inc. “One of the biggest disappointments a year ago was the fact that we were gearing up to celebrate our 50th anniversary. So if there was any after effect that
stung, it was the fact that we felt like we missed out on our chance to have our biggest celebration ever.” After serving as a summer staple in Mitchell for 49 straight years, the 2020 event fell victim to the coronavirus, leading to a decision by the board of directors to cancel the rodeo for the first time since its inception in 1971. Miskimins said they were disappointed with the final decision, but felt confident they made the proper call to cancel the event.
