TIFTON, Ga. – Rodeo action is returning to Tifton as Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College prepares to host its annual Gee Haw Whoa Back Rodeo during Homecoming weekend.
The two-night event is set for April 10 and April 11 at the ABAC Rodeo Arena. Gates open at 6 p.m., with the rodeo beginning at 7 p.m. each night.
Cowboys and cowgirls from across the Southeast will compete in a variety of events, including bareback riding, saddle-bronc riding, tie-down calf roping, steer wrestling, breakaway roping, barrel racing, and bull riding.
