<p>Recognizing the need for uniform competition rules, the Illinois Tractor Pulling Association (ITPA) was organized on January 24, 1968, making it one of the oldest sanctioning bodies for truck and tractor pulling in the nation. From those humble beginnings, the ITPA has taken this vision of a level playing field and safety of the competitors and spectators to be recognized as the premier truck and tractor pulling organization in the State of Illinois, as well as the midwest.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Offering competition classes ranging from single cylinder garden tractors up through the mighty super stocks and multi engine modified tractors, the ITPA has something for every tractor pulling fan.</p>

<p>The International Pro Rodeo Association is proud to celebrate over 60 years of rodeo excellence. Founded in 1957 by two rodeo promoters, the Interstate Rodeo Association, IRA, was formed as a rodeo management organization and a sanctioning body. </p>



<p>Revolutionized the sport of rodeo in 1964 by creating a Board of Governors including representatives from each segment of rodeo – stock contractors, contestants, fans, producers, and contract performers. </p>



<p>From big cities to small towns, from major league stadiums to portable arenas, the IPRA has become the sports second largest professional rodeo association sanctioning nearly 300 rodeos. The IPRA has a membership base of over 2,400 members and currently sanctions rodeos across the United States with 15 of these events being held in Oklahoma. </p>
