Meet our 2026 Rodeo Chairman — Sam Lovvorn!!
“The Great Southland Stampede Rodeo is a true testament to how an entire community can come together to support three nights of rodeo fun. To the fans who cheer on our cowboys and cowgirls, to the sponsors who provide the generous support that allows us to continue such a deep rooted tradition, we could not do this without you… and I mean that wholeheartedly. You are the lifeline of this rodeo! It’s important for you to know that I did not do this by myself. Alongside my Co-chairman Grace and I, there are 11 other committee chairmen who bring this rodeo to life. The dedication, time, and effort these chairmen have given this rodeo cannot go unnoticed, and I am incredibly thankful to have such a great team. See you at the rodeo!” - Sam Lovvorn
