The fifth round of the 2015 Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association’s Wrangler National Finals Rodeo is one that is always just a little bit more meaningful than the others. As the entire rodeo world light up the arena with pink shirts, scarves, pants, hats and anything else they can think of in support of the annual Tough Enough To Wear Pink performance. Many special presentations and dedications happen during this certain night of the year and this year’s round five was no different!
Over 17,000 dedicated and loyal professional rodeo fans came together inside of the Thomas & Mack Arena tonight to see some of the very best cowboys and cowgirls in the world compete for their chance at a go-round buckle, and in many cases, a chance at securing many World Championship titles that are up for grabs over the 10-day run. After the performance tonight there were more questions than answers pertaining to that very subject as the races are closer than they have ever been.
