“We are excited to serve as the host site for the Keath Killebrew Memorial Rodeo and the Mississippi Ag and Outdoor Expo at the Mississippi State Fairgrounds for one entire weekend in July. This weekend will be about bringing together Mississippians for a good time and for a good cause, supporting the Killebrew Ag Foundation,” said Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson.
The Keath Killebrew Memorial Rodeo, presented by the Killebrew Ag Foundation, will take place July 28-29 at the Mississippi Coliseum. Mississippi’s own Chapel Hart will perform on July 28, and Drake Milligan will perform July 29. The Keath Killebrew Memorial Rodeo will benefit the Kellebrew Ag Foundation. The Killebrew Ag Foundation provides scholarships and other programs to support Mississippi youth interested in agriculture. The Keath Killebrew Memorial Rodeo will be one of the largest two-day rodeos in the nation featuring over 500 contestants participating in standard rodeo events, along with ultimate bullfighting and bull poker. Rodeo tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at www.ardenland.net or at the Mississippi Coliseum Box Office.
In conjunction, the fall edition of the Mississippi Ag and Outdoor Expo hosted by the Foundation for Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries & Parks will take place the same weekend, July 28-30, in the Mississippi Trade Mart.
