Garrett Wise and the Rise of Rodeo on the Ridge!

In this episode, we sit down with Garret Wise to hear the story behind Rodeo on the Ridge and how it grew from a small local event in 2016 into one of the biggest gatherings in Northeast Arkansas. Garret shares how he first got into the rodeo world, the path that led him into bull fighting, and the moment someone suggested bringing rodeo back to the Greene County Fairgrounds. What started with a small crowd and limited support has grown into a multi-day event featuring rodeo competitions, live music, races, vendors, and family activities. Along the way, we talk about the mindset it takes to step into the arena, the balance between confidence and humility, and what it looks like to build something that serves a community over time.
