Volunteer
The Evergreen Rodeo Association is a 100% volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which sponsors the Evergreen Rodeo, a sanctioned event of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). As such, the association is held to strict accountability for the quality of the rodeo and facilities, treatment of all stock involved, and for a fully professional rodeo performance. (A home-town atmosphere with top notch contestants and entertainment.)
Parade Volunteer
This isn’t our 1st rodeo – that’s right, we’ve been doing this for 50+ years, and we can NOT do it without our Evergreen parade volunteers. As always, we need a solid team. It’s tons of fun, well worth your time, and is easy to volunteer – you can even do it online.
Get involved by being on the Parade Committee.
Put out signs (“no parking,” “detour,” etc.) prior to the parade, and take them down afterwards.
Help with the logistics of setting up and tearing down the announcers’ and judges’ trailers, tables, and chairs.
Coordinate arriving entries in the parade staging area, with the help of Evergreen Rodeo Association members.
Guide the drivers of horse trailers into their parking spots.
Trash detail post parade.
Distributing detour maps.
Staging setup.
Parade Ambassadors along Main Street.
Rodeo Volunteer
Whether you're managing the gates, assisting competitors, helping with livestock, or guiding visitors, your contribution makes our rodeo possible. It's a chance to get up close to the action, maybe meet a few competitors, and be part of a legacy that's been growing in our community for half a century.

The association is unique in that it is one of the few totally independent PRCA rodeo committees. We do not operate under the “umbrella” of a community, service, or government organization. The members handle all production details: hire the stock contractor and entertainment; sell advertising, sponsorships and tickets; maintain facilities; and work as crew during the rodeo. The association owns the 17 acre El Pinal Rodeo property.
Evergreen Rodeo Weekend, the oldest charity event in Evergreen, features the last small town PRCA Rodeo in the Denver metro area and is one of our only fund raisers. These funds are used to maintain the facilities, meet all rodeo costs, and contribute to local community services – including; Evergreen, Indian Hills, Clear Creek VFD and Ambulance, Forest Heights Home, Shriners, Disabled Veterans, Senior Citizens, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Mounted Patrol, Freedom Service Dogs, local equestrian activities, and the Evergreen Elk’s many charities.
