Easter weekend is here and the rodeo is in Williston. The thrill of the rodeo is in town with Wild West Days. You don't want to miss these four legged athletes and the two legged ones that ride them.

I'm always amazed by the bravery and skill of the cowgirls and cowboys competing in PRCA events. From barrel racing to bull riding, Wild West Days promises edge of your seat entertainment for the whole family.
