🏆 Badlands Circuit Finals | Committee Summit

The Black Hills Roundup was proud to be represented at the Badlands Circuit Finals Committee Summit this weekend! 🙌

Rodeo Committee Member, Scott Reeder, joined the discussion and shared valuable insights on what keeps community rodeos strong — from volunteer involvement to sponsorship sustainability and preserving the traditions that make local rodeos so special.

We’re grateful to be part of a network of rodeo committees across the Dakotas working together to grow the sport, support contestants, and keep the cowboy spirit alive for generations to come. 🤠

I sat down with Raile Joens just one hour after his flight from Texas landed in Rapid City. This 19-year-old qualified for his first Badlands Circuit Finals Rodeo, which starts tonight. You can watch it on The Cowboy Channel tonight at 7PM!
Thank you, Raile, Nate Hedin, and Lacey Hedin for your time! We are so excited for you! Good Luck!
Thank you, Chuck Miner and Brett Schneider Photography for the use of photos

No matter where you go, no matter what you do, it's always about the people. It's what makes rodeo so fun. And in the Badlands, we have the BEST! 🌟

It's a family affair for the Hatzenbuhlers, and Brandon and Lacey's daughter Dylan is a big part of her dad's work.
