69th Annual Butler Saddle Club Rodeo in the books!

The 69th Annual Butler Saddle Club Rodeo was held this Fathers Day weekend at the Bates County Fairgrounds.

Despite the hot temperatures rodeo fans packed into the arena all weekend to cheer on the stock contractor Big Horn Rodeo Company from Lamar, Oklahoma.

The Butler Saddle Club would like to think all the sponsors and rodeo fans that make this event a staple in community of Butler every year.
