We are so proud to announce our 2nd Annual "Ultimate NFR Experience" during this year's National Finals Rodeo on December 9th and 10th, 2023!
What is the Ultimate NFR Experience?
The Ultimate NFR Experience is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for young students to explore the exciting world of rodeo and experience the magic of the National Finals Rodeo. This immersive program aims to provide a memorable and educational experience for children who may not have had the chance to be exposed to the western lifestyle before.
Both days of the Ultimate NFR Experience are designed to give these three students a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the world of rodeo. Our curated itinerary includes a range of Western activities that will introduce them to the thrilling atmosphere of the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) and of course, provide them with unforgettable memories.
This experience is special because we are partnering with a Title One school to give a deserving student the opportunity of a lifetime. Title One schools serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, and we believe that every child deserves a chance to shine. By providing this unique styling experience, we hope to inspire and empower the next generation of cowgirls.
Day 1: A Cowboy Christmas Adventure
Overview
We are taking two Title One elementary school students on a Cowboy Christmas shopping spree! They will visit various western booths, try on cowboy gear, and learn about the significance of each piece. This will help them appreciate the western way of life and discover the values of hard work, determination, and respect.
After a day filled with shopping and immersing themselves in the western lifestyle, our young adventurers will be ready to gear up for the main event – the National Finals Rodeo performance. They will have the opportunity to choose their very own cowboy gear, including hats, boots, and belts, to wear to the rodeo.
Equipped with their new cowboy attire, these students will not only look the part but also feel like true cowboys and cowgirls as they cheer on their favorite rodeo stars at the National Finals Rodeo. It will be an experience they will never forget.
