Here's a look at some of the competitions and performers that will be competing this week.

Although the action on the dirt will be fierce between man and beast, every night at the Stampede focuses on people and causes dear to every Idahoan. Let's preview this week's schedule.

"In the roughstock events – bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, and bull riding – a contestant’s score is equally dependent upon his performance and the animal’s performance."

"In the timed events – tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping, and women’s barrel racing – a contestant’s goal is to post the fastest time in his event."
