Cinch World’s Toughest Rodeo (CWTR) is coming to Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina, on March 8 and 9, 2024. CWTR has had the world’s toughest bulls and broncs since 1979.
I’ve been to more than 1 rodeo but never have I been to an indoor rodeo. CWTR has been doing this for 45 years and just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And they’ve brought rodeos to many cities that never had a rodeo before. Their mission is to provide the ultimate western lifestyle experience to their fans.
The best of the best in cowboy athletes will be competing to qualify for the multi-million dollar Nation Finals in Las Vegas. Every dollar the cowboys win puts them closer to the crown. So you can expect to see top cowboys from across the country lining up to compete in Columbia. You can also expect to see edge of your seat action.
Another innovation CWTR has made is their Bulls and Broncs Format. This event has Saddle Bronc Riding, Bareback Riding, Bull Riding and Barrel Racing. Then the Showdown Round has a head to head match up of the top 2 in each event and a winner is crowned in each event. It’s a unique blend of fast paced rodeo action and family entertainment.
There will also be a free preshow that features interactive fun for both kids and adults. Fans can enter the arena for one hour to meet and greet the cowboys and specialty entertainers. It’s a time for autographs and photos. The “behind the chutes tours” are educational and fans can meet the animal stars. There will be free pony rides and interactive games. You can also get a chance to get your picture taken sitting on Midnight, CWTR’s favorite bull in the chutes.
