The Wimberley VFW Rodeo is the longest running rodeo in Hays County having first started in 1935 while taking place during the July 4th weekend. Being a partner of the local VFW chapter in Wimberley, the Rodeo is also a way to give back to the veterans who have served.

A HAYS COUNTY TRADITION
One of the longest ongoing traditions in Hays County took place over the weekend as the 77th Wimberley VFW Rodeo helped celebrate the Fourth of July weekend.
With origins as farback as 1935, the Wimberley VFW Rodeo attracts many guests and visitors from across the state and even the country to watch the best cowboys and cowgirls perform on what is known as the wildest show on dirt.
With the VFW Rodeo being produced by Beau Davis Productions, the crowds were not disappointed as this year saw some of the toughest broncos, bulls and steers take on the strongest and wisest constants from across the state in hopes of bringing home a big paycheck.
As always, the crowds were entertained by the Rodeo Hall of Famer Leon Coffee, who brought his own style of humor and flair to the rodeo festivities.
