Call In & Schedule

All of these options are done through Barb Laughlin, MHSR Rodeo Secretary.

1. Call Barb between 5-9pm on call in date (busiest time is 6:30-8:30pm; keep trying, you will get through). Call in is ALWAYS the Monday prior to the rodeo (State Finals is the only exception)! Phone 573-578-6490.

2. Email Barb before noon on call in date. She will send a reply confirming your entry. If you do not receive this confirmation email, you should call to confirm. Email mohs-jhrodeocallin@outlook.com.

3. Sign the book (available at each rodeo). You can sign up to enter upcoming rodeos and do not have to worry about calling or emailing to enter. However, if you decide NOT to enter, you must call or email to draw out or you will owe fees for the rodeo you did not draw out of!

If you miss all the above opportunities, you have 24 hours from CALL IN CUT OFF TIME to call Barb. A $50 late penalty will be assessed upon check in!
