This weekend's event brings 293 cowboys and cowgirls to Topeka for a Friday and Saturday night rodeo.

Each night features a different field of contenders and includes seven events: bareback, steer wrestling, saddle bronc, tie-down roping, team roping, barrel racing and bull riding.
A Pittsburg, Kansas, cowgirl -- who competes on the national level -- will compete for championship points in the PRCA.
