Founded in 1966, the Tri-State Rodeo Association has been a nonprofit organization which covers a three-state area:  Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.  However, our membership in the last several years has reached out as far as Arkansas, Florida and Texas.  Our association continues to grow from year to year.  Tri-State Rodeo Association has grown into one of the top Southeast regional professional association.  The top fifteen contestants and one high school contestant in each rodeo event will compete at our year-end finals.  A total of 120 contestants will be competing to capture the top spot and become the Champion in their respective events.
   
                ********************************************** CONGRATULATIONS 
To all who participated in the TSRA 2023 finals November 17 & 18 2023.  To all our sponsors we say a big “Thank You”.  To all the workers we could not have had a finals without you – you are so appreciated. 

The TSRA board and directors are looking forward and making plans for the 2024 rodeo year.  Watch the web site as it is updated after the first of the year with rodeo dates and any rule changes.

Again congratulations to the winners that qualified and those contestants that left being a Champion of their event.

Everyone have a “Happy  and Blessed Thanksgiving”.  Thanking God for family and rodeo friends.  Be safe and God Bless
