The Gaines County Riding Club is now accepting vendor applications for the upcoming UPRA Rodeo in Seminole, Texas, taking place July 17–19, 2026.
Each summer, the rodeo brings together families, rodeo fans, and visitors from across the region for a weekend of rodeo action, great food, and shopping. Vendors play an important role in creating the atmosphere that fans enjoy throughout the event.
Clothing, food trucks, drink vendors, sweet treat vendors, and merchandise booths help make the rodeo grounds a fun place for fans to gather before and during each performance.
Because of space limitations, vendor spots are limited and carefully selected to provide a good mix of food and products for rodeo fans.
