The Clearwater Rough Stock Challenge will add a few new features for its fourth-annual event, Saturday, Aug. 17.

Competition is slated to begin at 7:30 p.m., in the Gene Snodgrass Arena, located along West Highway 275.

A calcutta will be held at 7 p.m., prior to the first event. Elgin Livestock auctioneer, Ted Baum, will handle auction duties.

Justin Rumford, 10-time PRCA Pro Rodeo Clown of the Year will entertain the crowd between riders.

"He'll be a hit with the crowd," said chamber president Curt Thiele.

An extra $4,000 in prize money will be up for grabs in each event, courtesy of local businesses.
