It’s time to dust off our boots, hang up our hats, and take a moment to reflect on our biggest and best Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo ever! An all-time attendance record was set last week, with over 333,000 individuals visiting our facility and community. Our largest single day ever occurred on Saturday, February 4th, with over 65,000 attendees! Numbers like this are only possible because of the dedication of the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center staff, as well as the entire Rapid City community joining together to support the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo. For that we thank you all, and look forward to another great turnout in 2013!
A Date Night for Everyone!
With that said, our lineup of events is just beginning! As we all know, next Tuesday marks the most romantic date on the calendar, which means it’s time to plan ahead for that someone special.

Here is a rundown of all that’s happening; the perfect date night for any couple!

This year’s Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo is in full swing and busy as ever. We’ve had a great time seeing old and new faces alike, and watching the talented skill of riders, artists, and craftsmen who have filled our building with that special energy that can only be felt during the Stock Show & Rodeo.
With only a few days left, make sure that you don’t miss your chance to get in on all of the action. There are plenty of tickets available for all of the events, so bring the whole family for an afternoon or evening of quality entertainment!

Saturday, February 4th
The last day of the 2012 Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo will be a busy one.
