Another event that kids are invited to participate in is Mutton Bustin’, which starts at 7:00pm. The objective is to see who can hold onto their squirmy sheep the longest and the winner gets a trophy.

The Beaver Creek Rodeo is the perfect evening activity for families and friends. There is so much to see and do in this action-packed two hour event. Please see details about the Beaver Creek Wine and Spirits Festival, which coincides with the Beaver Creek Rodeo. Special packages will be sold for both events at a discounted rate and kids under the age of 12 can eat for free (some restrictions apply).
