The 2022 Jerome County Fair & Rodeo won multiple awards from the International Association of Fairs and Expositions.
The Jerome County Fair & Rodeo has won multiple industry awards for its 2022 festivities — including one of the top honors handed out annually by the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association.
After claiming 12 combined accolades in November from the Rocky Mountain Association of Fairs (RMAF) and the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE), Jerome County’s six-day event was recognized at the PRCA Convention on Nov. 28-Dec. 1 ahead of the 10-day National Finals Rodeo.
In Las Vegas, Jerome County won third place in the Justin Boots Best Footing Award category for the WPRA’s Wilderness Circuit. The award, determined by votes by WPRA membership and circuit directors, “represents our members’ voices saying ‘thank you’ for a job well done, according to the WPRA.
