The Hennessey Rodeo Grounds roared to life this past weekend as the 2025 Round-Up Club Rodeo delivered two nights of thrills, spills, and community spirit.
Night 1 – Friday, August 15
Cowboys, cowgirls, and plenty of four-legged athletes kept the crowd on its feet with a full slate of events, including Ranch Bronc, Bull Riding, Tie-Down and Breakaway Roping, Steer Wrestling, Barrels, Jr. Barrels, Jr. Bulls, and Team Roping. Younger fans joined the fun with the Greased Pig Contest, Calf Scramble, and the ever-popular Mutton Busting. The new event parking area also proved handy for rodeo-goers.
Night 2 – Saturday, August 16
Saturday brought another packed house and a special moment as the Round-Up Club awarded its 2025 scholarships. Fernando Armenta, a Hennessey High School graduate, will attend the University of Oklahoma to study Architecture. Kendyll Miller, a graduate of EPIC Charter School, is headed to Northwestern Oklahoma State University to major in Ag Business and compete on the NWOSU Rodeo Team.
