INFR Qualifying Rodeo to Flandreau, South Dakota

South Dakota is a rodeo state. In fact, if you look closely, you would see that Rodeo is the number one sport in the state. So, it should come as no surprise that the INFR has chosen South Dakota as the final stop on their road to their National Finals.

In South Dakota, you might find 4-H Rodeos, Highschool, Rodeo's, SDRA, and PRCA Rodeos, but there is another Rodeo to point the spotlight on, The INFR and it's coming to Flandreau, South Dakota across from Royal River Casino.

According to INFR.org;

 In 1976, five people gathered to put a concept to reality. They united several regional Indian Rodeo Associations from the U.S. and Canada to form the Indian National Finals Rodeo Inc. (INFR).  Champion Indian cowboys and cowgirls came together at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, UT to compete against each other in the first ever Indian National Finals Rodeo.

One of the final stops on their tour to the finals is this weekend. It's the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe INFR Tour Qualifier Rodeo that comes to town, right across from Royal River Casino Friday, September 9-10, 2022.
