What an unforgettable weekend for the 2026 Stampede Days Rodeo 🤍🐎
As we wrap up another amazing year, Darbonne Range Riders would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped make this event possible. From the contestants and sponsors to the VOLUNTEERS and fans in the stands, every part of this rodeo came together because of the support from our incredible community.
To Union Parish and all the surrounding areas — thank you for showing up and showing out! The packed stands, cheering crowds, and support throughout the weekend are what make this rodeo such a special tradition year after year.
To our sponsors, thank you for continuing to believe in and support DRR. We encourage everyone to support the businesses that help make events like this possible. Your generosity means more than words can say.
A big thank you to Rockin J Jorden and Eric Simmons for bringing an exciting rodeo production and nonstop action to the arena all weekend long. And of course, thank you to Funny Man Al Bryan for keeping the crowd laughing and entertained from start to finish. Special thanks to Katie Lynn English Specialty Acts for the incredible trick riding performances that kept the crowd amazed all weekend long!
We also appreciate the Union Parish Sheriff's Office and Pafford Farmerville for helping us provide a safe and smooth event for our contestants and spectators.
A special thank you to The Kyle Thompson Band for the great music and entertainment both Friday and Saturday night and for helping create such a fun atmosphere throughout the weekend!
Most importantly, thank you to every DRR officer, board member, club member, and VOLUNTEER who worked countless hours before, during, and after the rodeo. Whether you worked gates, concessions, arena prep, cleanup, parking, or behind the scenes — this event would not happen without the hardworking people who give their time to this club.
Darbonne Range Riders is proud to continue hosting events that bring our community together, and we are truly thankful for the support we receive each year. We are already excited for what’s ahead!
