As we prepare to hit the halfway mark of 2026, we are already over here stress planning, caffeine drinking, and mildly concerning ourselves over the 2027 season. 😱😂
In fact, we already have OVER HALF of our 2027 dates booked.
Which honestly feels irresponsible this far in advance… but here we are.
For 2027, Jokes On Us Productions will not be offering just one saddle series, we will be offering TWO.
We will continue our saddle series at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Lawrence, Kansas beginning in January, and as we continue working with the Buchanan County Fairgrounds, that will become our second saddle series kicking off in the fall.
‼️BUT WAIT‼️
Because apparently 2 saddles series were not enough chaos for me…
We are adding a KART SERIES at North Topeka Saddle Club.
Yes. E-carts.
So if you’ve ever wanted to go from running barrels to looking like Mario Kart’s financially unstable rodeo cousin, your time has come.
We will also be bringing back:
The Birthday Barrel Bash
The Mad Money Race
The Youth Extravaganza
And of course the annual Mock NFR — which will once again serve as our yearly finals.
Now with all of these races coming in 2027, we are introducing something NEW:
‼️Memberships.‼️
🎪 No, you do NOT have to be a member to come compete at Jokes On Us Productions races. We are not creating an elite secret society where you have to know a password and sacrifice your firstborn to enter. 😅 But if you really want to, we do take child labor. 🎪
HOWEVER…
Memberships are going to unlock a LOT more.
Exclusive perks, added incentives, special opportunities, year-end benefits, finals perks, and honestly, probably things I haven’t even thought of yet because my brain is currently operating on caffeine and poor financial decisions. When we put pen to paper, the initial cost of prizes for next year alone was going to reach $50,000!!
2027 is shaping up to be bigger, wilder, and somehow even more chaotic than 2026.
Welcome to the circus. 🎪😂
