The adult admission price was 40 cents on the main floor and 30 cents in the balcony. Children attended for a dime.

In 1921, the Commercial Club decided to make this an organized event at the ball field just west of Sixth Avenue South. Since the Palmer Brothers Circus was scheduled to be in the town, it made sense to hold the rodeo in conjunction with the Circus. The weekend and the rodeo was a grand success and thus the Wolf Point Wild Horse Stampede was born!
