Just say his name and we double dog dare you not to smile or down right laugh!! The Burke Stampede Rodeo Committee is just down right tickled to land another year of entertainment from the now 10 time PRCA Rodeo Clown of the year Justin Rumford. That’s right, the funniest guy in rodeo, we affec-tionately call “Rump”, is coming back to entertain crowds at all three performances of the rip roarin’ bronc stompin’ Burke Stampede Rodeo.

In an interview in the Rodeo News, it was said of Rumford that he is the same guy in the arena as he is out of the arena……”I’m just dressed different”. That’s what makes “Rump” such a great fit for The Stampede. He is just a down to earth, naturally funny guy that wants to make sure you have the time of your life at The Stampede.

Rump, a cowboy who grew up on the rodeo road currently lives in Ponca City, Oklahoma with his wife Ashley ( a former Miss Ro-deo Oklahoma and now full time “Rump” manager) and his 10 year old triplets, Livi, Lola, and Bandy. “There is nothing more rewarding than being able to do what I love with my family right beside me…..I’m living my dream.” Spi-der Man, Evil Knievel, Captain America….who knows who might show up and just how much fun we might have with Justin Rumford at the three performances of the 2024 Burke Stampede Rodeo July 19th, 20th, and 21st.

Rodeo start time is 7:30 each evening at the Stampede Arena, Burke, South Dakota. Advance tickets are available at www. burkestampederodeo.com and at various local businesses or can be purchased right at the gate. Stampede fans can also scan the QR code on our rodeo posters and bring your ticket to the rodeo with you on your phone. We’re movin’ on up at the Burke Stampede Ro-deo….it’s the 34th edition and we’ve pulled out all the stops to make this year’s Stampede the “funnest” ever!! We double dog dare you not to laugh and smile all night long at The Burke Stampede Rodeo, Burke, South Dakota!!
