2023 Rodeo - Killebrew Ag Foundation

The inaugural Keath Killebrew Memorial Rodeo, presented by the Killebrew Ag Foundation, took place on July 28-29 at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson to benefit scholarships for aspiring young farmers.

The rodeo featured a series of action-packed events including bull riding, broncs, calf roping, barrel racing, and much more. Country music sensations and Mississippi natives Chapel Hart performed as part of the festivities on opening night.

Proceeds benefited the Keath Killebrew Charisma Award Fund at the Community Foundation for Mississippi. For more information about the Killebrew Ag Foundation and its mission, click here.
