Barnes PRCA Rodeo in Cherokee County has put on rodeos since 1950. Barnes PRCA Rodeo was founded with the guiding principles of integrity and hard work by Bob and Donita Barnes. The late Bob Barnes was known as "the Colonel", and today is still one of
the most respected stockman in professional rodeo. He was selected as the 1984 PRCA Stock Contractor of the Year and was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame ten years later. Donita Barnes was posthumously awarded the inaugural PRCA Lifetime Achievement Award for contract personnel at the PRCA award banquet in 2011. The PRCA Lifetime Achievement Award was renamed in her honor in 2012.
