Eide Chrysler Proud to Support 138th Mandan Rodeo Days Celebration

Are you ready? The biggest event of the summer is returning July 1-4 in Mandan!

Eide Chrysler is proud to be a top-level sponsor of the 138th Mandan Rodeo Days Celebration taking place July 1-4 just across the river from us at Dacotah Centennial Park.

This year's event will bring in nearly 600 professional cowboys and cowgirls from across North America to compete for more than $120,000 in prizes.

As North Dakota's largest Independence Day celebration, Mandan Rodeo Days brings plenty of fun excitement to the Bis-Man area, and our dealership is excited to be lending a hand – and some wheels! A few of Eide Chrysler's new Ram trucks will be featured prominently throughout the festivities, hauling the trailer full of sheep for mutton busting and barrels for the barrel racing competition.

"This is one of the biggest and most exciting Independence Day events in the country," said rodeo spokesperson Johna Cravens. "We're very excited to have Eide Chrysler as a top-level sponsor this year."

In addition to the new Ram trucks, Eide Chrysler will also present $100 prize checks to the cowboys and cowgirls with the top scores for each performance.
