Message from SSS President Pat Laughlin, May 6, 2020:
Silver State Stampede Board of Directors voted unanimously to continue with the planning for the 2020 Silver State Stampede PRCA Rodeo July 10, 11 & 12th should current COVID-19 restrictions and social distancing advice change.
The safety and health of our rodeo fans, stock contractor, and contestants is our #1 priority and we will continue to assess the situation and cancel the rodeo if we feel we cannot achieve this. We will continue to stay in close contact with the PRCA and follow their advice and guidelines as well.
We are staying optimistic that the State of Nevada, Elko County and City of Elko will allow us to have the greatest rodeo in Northern Nevada and we hope that the community will support us and stand behind our decision.

The Silver State Stampede is the oldest rodeo in Nevada. The tradition of Elko’s annual rodeo started in 1913 when GS Garcia, the world-famous bit, spur, and saddle maker, decided that northern Nevada cowboys needed a rodeo, and the town needed the added entertainment and income. Today’s Stampede has grown into a multi-faceted event, showcasing the best of rodeo and ranch cowboys alike.
