The men and women of the Payson Pro Rodeo Committee work throughout the year to put on the annual Spring Rodeo, plus accompanying events, such as the Rodeo Dance at the Historic Oxbow Saloon. Through their efforts, scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors and other young people are assisted through various awards to sports and other extracurricular activities in the Payson Unified School District. The committee welcomes those interested to attend the meetings, which are held the second Tuesday of every month at the Best Western Payson Inn.

Presenting any rodeo takes a great deal of work by innumerable volunteers. It also takes money from many sources.

The Payson Pro Rodeo Committee has a long history in the sport and so it is able to attract good sponsors for its events.
