The Phillipsburg rodeo was voted the Most Improved in the Prairie Circuit in 2016. We thank the cowboys and cowgirls who voted for us.

The rodeo committee has been busy making improvements at the grounds, installing pipe fencing to replace steel posts and rope on the east side, from the north entrance to the south. Posts will be secured in the ground with concrete, to make a permanent fence.
