Gee Haw Whoa Back Rodeo set for April 5-6

TIFTON — Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College will present its annual “Gee Haw Whoa Back” rodeo as a part of Homecoming Week 2024 from April 5-6.

“We always look forward to the rodeo,” said Randi Hickman, Development Officer for ABAC. “We always have great competitors from across the southeast at this event. You’ll see some great professional athletes and our stock contractor, 4L Rodeo Inc., brings some of the best rough stock and livestock in the industry.”

The Professional Cowboy Association-sanctioned rodeo will be held at the ABAC Arena beginning at 7 p.m. each evening. Gates open at 5 p.m.

Tickets are $20 for ages 18 and over, $10 for ages 6-17 and free for ages 5 and under. Current students with an ABAC ID get in free on Friday night, but they must use a designated promo code to register online. Rodeo tickets will be sold at the gate on the two days of the event as well as in advance at www.abac.edu/rodeo. Separate tickets must be purchased for each night.

Besides the crowd favorite of bull riding, other events include bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping, breakaway roping, barrel racing and tie down roping. The rodeo will also feature some audience participation events and family-friendly activities. Vendors will also be set up each night with great food and fun for everyone.

The rodeo is a part of a week-long series of events on April 1-6 designed for students, alumni, and the public. For more information on rodeo tickets or the Homecoming Week, interested persons can contact the ABAC Office of College Advancement at (229) 391-4900 or visit www.abac.edu/homecoming.
