Mount Isa Mines Rodeo CEO Natalie Flecker said preparations are well underway to start the event on Thursday, despite COVID-19 concerns around Queensland.
On Saturday night the annual Rodeo Ball was held, with the sell-out event putting on a great outback show, raising $17,600 for the North Queensland Domestic Violence Resource Service.
"It's a challenging time for events across the country, but the Isa Rodeo Executive Team and Board have worked tirelessly to ensure not only with this year be another iconic event in the red dirt arena, but one that is a leader in covid safe event practices," Ms Flecker said.
"We have worked hard to ensure that we will create a safe but fun environment for all our visitors, staff, judges and competitors."
Ms Flecker said tickets were still on sale for the rodeo and accommodation was available.
"The Mount Isa Mines Rodeo is Mount Isa's only major event and is an important community fundraising platform," she said.
