SLE Rodeo to host two concerts in March 2012

     Next year’s Southeastern Livestock Exposition Rodeo is only three months away and anticipation is building for what may be the most exciting SLE Week in some time. Each year, the Southeastern not only plays host to a championship rodeo but also highly competitive horse and livestock shows that draw interest from around the country. In 2012, rodeo organizers have added a new ingredient to spice up the excitement during the annual week-long event, major entertainment concerts following the Friday and Saturday night rodeos. These concerts are due to a sponsorship agreement between the SLE and PCI Gaming.

     “We’re really excited about bringing some big name performers to the SLE Rodeo. Folks that you hear on the radio every day will be right here in Montgomery on a big stage in the Coliseum arena on Friday and Saturday night. That’s a big deal for us and we think it’s a big deal for Montgomery too,” says Camp Powers, President of the Southeastern Livestock Exposition.

     While performer names have yet to be announced, plans are already in place to admit all Friday and Saturday night rodeo attendees free to the concerts with their rodeo tickets. Tickets for Thursday night and the Saturday matinee are priced at $19 for adults and $9 for children. All tickets for Friday and Saturday nights will be $22.

     “More than once, we’ve tried to host entertainers at the SLE Rodeo but just weren’t happy with the result. Thanks to PCI Gaming, we’ll be able to bring in some big name acts on a stage in the Coliseum after the rodeo. Coupling that with the IPRA National All-Region Finals Rodeo is exciting for rodeo fans and the Southeastern,” says Dr. Billy Powell, Executive Director of the Southeastern Livestock Exposition.

     The 2012 SLE Rodeo will be held March 8-10 at Garrett Coliseum in Montgomery. Tickets for all 4 performances will be for sale soon online through Ticketmaster or by calling 1-888-2RODEO2. As well, rodeo fans can buy their tickets in person from the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association headquarters building or from the Garrett Coliseum the week of the rodeo.
