Where Can I Buy Sisters Rodeo Merchandise?
Official Sisters Rodeo merchandise is available on the rodeo grounds during rodeo week.
Look for limited-edition apparel, hats, collectibles, posters, and anniversary merchandise celebrating 86 years of rodeo tradition.
Popular items often sell out before the weekend, so shop early (don’t forget about slack)!
Can I Purchase the Official Rodeo Poster?
Yes. The annual Sisters Rodeo poster is one of the event’s most sought-after collectibles and is available during rodeo week while supplies last.
This year’s artwork continues a tradition that has become a favorite among rodeo fans and collectors alike. This year’s artist is local Sisters artist Dyrk Godby – we encourage you to swing by his art gallery and studio in downtown during rodeo week.
The poster can be purchased at the Trading Post on the grounds during the rodeo or at local retailers in town, such as Dixie’s Western Wear on Main Street.
