Stockyards Championship Rodeo, located in the Stockyards National Historic District, has hit the mark on Facebook, and acquired it's 7,000th fan last week.

Social media and the sport of rodeo have become deeply engrained as a working force for rodeo fans and contestants. It is a worldwide sport, and therefore, Stockyards Championship Rodeo's fans span thru 20 countries, and the Fan Page's information, news and contests are delivered to those fans in 22 different languages.

Reach to these many different worldwide markets means more exposure for current corporate sponsors that partner with the world's only year round rodeo and also potential partners. Branding thru social media, in conjunction with Stockyards Championship Rodeo has proven very successful.

Stockyards Championship Rodeo utilizes exciting fan interaction and contests, including "Trivia Tuesday" and "Facebook Friday", where fans of the page can enter and win tickets, gifts and experiences. The relationship that fans feel with this Facebook Fan Page encourages them to participate and share with their friends.

New ideas for promotions and partnerships are forthcoming in this exciting year, Stockyards Championship Rodeo's 10th Anniversary. The SCR Facebook page can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/StockyardsChampionshipRodeo
