On another note, the Creston Classic Rodeo is a 501(c) (3) organization. Our sole purpose is to fund the charitable needs of the community of Creston. Without our dedicated rodeo sponsors, whom receive banner space in the arena, VIP passes, and extensive social media coverage on our website and Facebook page for their sponsorship, the rodeo would not continue! If you are interested in partnering up with the rodeo and becoming a sponsor please go to www.crestonclassicrodeo.org where you will find this year’s Sponsorship Form. If you are interested in being a Vendor at this year’s rodeo, the 2023 Vendor Application can be found on the website as well.
