River Rodeo Committee produces a Wisconsin High School Rodeo Association sanctioned rodeo for participating contestants.

River Rodeo Committee was created and held its first WHSRA in May of 2004. The committee was created to allow for another rodeo in the yearly season to be put on by the families of the many Eastern Iowa kids that compete in Wisconsin for high school rodeo. The rodeo is held at the Dubuque County Fair grounds. A junior high rodeo has been added and takes place on Friday afternoon, an open barrel and team roping jackpot is Friday night and the high school rodeo Saturday and Sunday. For more information please contact one of the committee members.

Jim Theisen believes that people buy from people, not companies. That is why our company believes that we need to support the people and not-for-profit organizations in the communities that we serve. Theisen's Home Farm Auto does that in many ways — through our MORE for Your Community Grant Program, scholarships, and donations to numerous organizations throughout the year. Thank you Theisen's for your continued support for the River Rodeo!
