Description

A New Chapter...
Though our hearts have been saddened by the passing of the Mid-Western Rodeo Chairman Peter Ziebell, his girls would like to carry on his legacy. We are proud to introduce the Mid-Western Rodeo Co-Chairmen, Annette Ziebell and Rachel Holzschuh. Although Pete leaves some pretty big cowboy boots to fill, we know this mother/daughter team will do a great job. They both have been walking in his bootprints for many years now.

"Ladies...You got this"!!!
The Legend of the Manawa Rodeo
It all began 66 years ago, when local businessman Carl Dretzke was traveling in the western part of Wisconsin and saw a sign advertising a Bob Barnes Rodeo. Carl thought it might be a good fundraiser for the community, and brought the idea to the Manawa Lions Club. The Lions Club formed a rodeo committee and contacted Bob Barnes, a rodeo stock contractor, who in turn invited them to his ranch in Iowa to watch a rodeo. Casey Klemm, the local barber, and Carl made the trip to Iowa representing the Manawa Lions. They liked what they saw, and agreed that Manawa should host a Championship Rodeo.
66 Year Anniversary in 2025
"Awards given at year end are kind of a big deal to us, because the contestants are the ones doing the voting, and if they like it we must be doing something right," stated Peter Ziebell, Mid-Western Rodeo Chairman. 2025 marks the 66th year that Rodeo City will proudly pull together over the 4th of July weekend, as in the past, to bring Rodeo fans from all over the U.S. a family show that they won't forget. And that is truly what legends are made of.
