John Harrison takes funny to a whole new level! John Harrison lives in Soper, Oklahoma with wife Carla and daughter Addison. He has a degree in Ag.-business and is a certified Equine Massage Therapist.

John was six when he received his first trick riding lesson after watching a trick rider perform at a nearby rodeo. Since then he has trained and performed with many of the best trick riders in the world.

John became a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) in 1999, as a trick and roman rider, and trick roper. He has since diversified and added barrelman to his PRCA card.

Today John entertains with his walk & talk comedy that is backed by his quick wit, and with his two strongest acts: Miss Rodeo Universe and Comedy Trick Riding.

John has been selected to perform three times at the prestigious Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV. Four times he has been nominated for Comedy Act of the Year.

Kenny Petet - Specialty Act

Kenny Petet brings Chuck Wagon races to the Mid-Western Rodeo.

What is Chuck Wagon Racing?  “It’s like NASCAR in a buggy. If you ain’t rubbin’ - you ain’t racin'” says Kenny.  The racing is fast and furious and at times wagons have flipped.  While the rodeo ring isn’t necessarily where the Idaho native dreamed his life would take him, it is where he found his greatest adrenaline fix. Coming from a family where his dad was a bush pilot in Northern Idaho and his brother flies an attack helicopter for the U.S. Army, Chuck Wagon racer probably makes sense.

Rodeo City Riders Drill Team

Proudly carrying the Stars and Stripes, the Rodeo City Riders Drill Team brings to life an exciting horsemanship performance that is truly patriotic and entertaining.

With every member carrying Old Glory, the Rodeo City Riders pride themselves on consistently delivering an Americana-themed show that promises energetic music, intricate patterns, and a rousing finale that will inspire everyone in the audience.

Members of the RCR Drill Team belong to the Rodeo City Riders Saddle Club, Inc., also from Manawa. This non-profit organization sponsors a performing parade group, a fall trail ride, and a dinner/dance/auction. The proceeds from these activities, as well as monies earned by the RCR Drill Team, are donated to area organizations with a focus on youth and therapeutic riding.

From the moment they enter the arena, until the last note has sounded, you'll feel a thrill...and feel a chill...as the Rodeo City Riders inspire you to feel as they do:

"Proud to Be An American!"

Cowboy Church with
Kevin Johnson

South Dakota native Kevin Johnson brings a message of hope through music and word to the western world. At a early age Johnson started riding horses across the Standing Rock reservation, this is when the love for rodeo began. Kevin now makes Wisconsin his home and for the past two decades has traveled throughout the United States singing uplifting inspirational music, from old-time favorite hymns to modern day worship.

The Great Wild West Revue

The Great Wild West Revue brings the thrill and excitement of fast horses, trick riding and fancy shooting. This is family entertainment, recreating the Wild West shows of more than 100 years ago.

Our mission is to tell the history of how the West was won, with music, narration, and a fast-paced show that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. Our characters are so authentic; viewers leave the show feeling they actually saw Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley, and other legends that shaped the West.
