Decorated Cattle Skulls Added to Silent Auction

A pair of handpainted cattle skulls are the newest items to be added to the Mandan Rodeo Days silent auction to raise money for Bismarck Cancer Center and K9s for Warriors.

The auction begins during the first performance of the rodeo on July 2 and ends during the July 3 Patriot Night rodeo performance. Whether you cheer for North Dakota State or for the University of North Dakota, you’ll have a chance to bid on a beautiful handpainted skull.

Bragging rights will go to the university whose skull raises the most money at the silent auction.

Many other items will also be available for bids during the silent auction at the 2018 Mandan Rodeo. Silent and live auction proceeds along with sales of raffle tickets for two rifles and a turquoise and diamond necklace will benefit the two charities.
