ACRC Arena
The Ashley Community Rodeo Club (ACRC), in Ashley, McIntosh County, hopes to bring our western heritage back to Ashley with many events. It is a celebration of Ashley, not just rodeo events, with games for all ages and a huge street dance. And not just a rodeo either, but a championship PRCA-sanctioned event with professional riders and performers. New event: Ladies’ Breakaway with many competitors from the Badlands Circuit. Breakaway is a variation of calf roping; a calf is roped, but not thrown and tied, by one mounted rider. The calves are moved one at a time through narrow runs leading to a chute with spring-loaded doors. We think the best part is being in the crowd. The whole town has been raising funds for the rodeo all year. In April they held a soup and sausage fundraiser and produced handcrafted and unique items to auction.
