Ham Rodeo announces 2023 date

Hogs, hogs, and more hogs… Where else in Bandera would you find contestants trying to catch feral hogs except at the Bandera Ham Rodeo. The Bandera Ham Rodeo was held on Saturday, March 19, 2022, and are proud to report a successful Bandera Ham Rodeo!!

We cannot thank the sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and contestants enough for supporting this year’s Bandera Wranglers’ event. We hope you know how much your support means to our organization and our mission to continue this tradition in our community.

As an organization, our mission is to support those in need and bring the community closer together. The Bandera Wranglers is a Volunteer, Non-Profit, Membership-Driven, Community Organization.

With our recent win in court against PETA, which threatened our HAM Rodeo (formerly known as the Wild Hog Explosion) annual event and our community, we know how important it is to continue as an organization.

In addition to the Bandera Rodeo, we support local events & fundraisers to help raise donations for charities, local organizations who support those in need in our community. We do not receive anything from any funds raised or donations received.

All man hours are volunteer, and everything earned or donated is put back into the organization to be delivered to the charities and organizations we support.

Money raised this year will be allocated to the local Bandera County Boys and Girls Club, to local efforts to assist local charity drives in our area during the holidays, to promote the 2023 Bandera Ham Rodeo and to cover Bandera Wrangler operational fees.

If you are interested in any details, please let us know.
