Big money, big names, big action — that just about sums up the Central States Fair’s 2020 Range Days Rodeo in Rapid City, South Dakota, which concluded Saturday night.

Some of the top moments from the 2020 Range Days Rodeo — aside from the first ever the live broadcasting of the XTreme Broncs Tour Finale and draft, live streaming of the rodeo, and nightly television coverage On ProRodeo Live ....

There was the four-way tie for the bareback title that included hometown hero Shane O’Connell, Reed Kraeger throwing one down in just 3.3 seconds for the win in the steer wrestling, barrel racing Maggie Poloncic stopping the clock at 17.07 seconds to take the win over Emily Miller by just one-hundredth of a second, Clay Tryan and Jake Long’s impressive 4.4 second-run, and Denton Fugate going 86 points on Burch Rodeo’s G easy, to name a few.
