The 39th annual Arizona Gay Rodeo was held Feb. 14 to 16 at Corona Ranch in Laveen.

In addition to traditional rodeo activities such as bull riding, barrel racing, chute dogging and calf roping, the event included colorful events like a wild drag race and goat dressing, in which participants tried to put underwear on goats.

Over the course of the weekend, the Arizona Gay Rodeo also hosted WrestleDrag, lawn games including a cornhole tournament and crowned several folks as rodeo royalty, including Devina Ross as Miss AGRA.

Here's a look at the event.
