TIFTON—From bull riding to steer wrestling, rodeo fans are in for a real treat on April 1-2 when Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College presents its annual “Gee Haw Whoa Back” rodeo as a part of Homecoming Week 2022.
Spectators will be entertained with riveting competition during the Professional Cowboy Association-sanctioned rodeo at the ABAC Arena which begins at 7 p.m. each evening. Gates open at 6:30 p.m.
Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for children 6–17 years old and free to ABAC students and children five years old and under. Rodeo tickets will be sold at the gate on the two days of the event. Separate tickets must be purchased for each night.
Besides the crowd favorite of bull riding, cowboys will participate in events including saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, team roping, calf roping, and steer wrestling. Cowgirls will compete in break-away roping and barrel racing. The rodeo will also feature some audience participation events and family-friendly activities.
