Event Overview

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s PRCA Rodeo is a premier sporting event and the richest three-day rodeo in Southern California. Re-established in 2000, after a 23-year absence, the rodeo strives to provide an exceptionally high level of entertainment to our fans, hospitality to our contestants, and financial assistance to our charitable beneficiaries. Each year during the last full weekend of September, hundreds of rodeo athletes from around the country descend on San Bernardino for their chance at a purse exceeding $100,000.00. The rodeo is strategically located on the final weekend of the professional rodeo season and is a key factor in determining who will attend the prestigious Wrangler National Finals Rodeo each year in December
Since it’s rebirth in 2000, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s PRCA Rodeo has been committed to giving back to the community.  Over the last 23 years, we have donated over one million dollars to local youth groups and charities.

Producer’s Comments

For our 2022 rodeo, we were approached with an opportunity to broadcast the rodeo live on the Cowboy Channel. Unfortunately, our location and infrastructure did not provide for sufficient internet upload speed to ensure a successful broadcast. We reached out to PopUp WiFi, expressed our dilemma, and were provided a comprehensive plan to boost our internet speed. Just prior to our event, equipment from PopUp WiFi arrived. Setup of the equipment took less than 5 minutes, and just like that, we had more than enough internet speed to provide the Cowboy Channel with live streaming. With the success of our 2022 televised rodeo, the Cowboy Channel again reached out to have our 2023 rodeo broadcast live. Thanks to the amazing product provided by PopUp WiFi, we have the capability to livestream our event without any concerns, providing the Cowboy Channel with a successful broadcast.
