About Club The Topeka Round-Up Club has grown since its beginnings as a small group of men, who liked horseback riding, coyote hunting, and calf roping. Calves were too expensive to keep for simply roping purposes, so they got a few goats, and in 1938, a goat roping club was formed. The club grew and in May, 1947 a corporation consisting of 20 members was formed, and the Topeka Round-Up Club was born. Also in 1947, club purchased 78 acres located at 61st and Adams, from B.H. Sannaman. Many activities were enjoyed and polo was the main sport of the time. In 1954, the United States Government purchased the 78 acres. In 1955, the Board decided to buy 320 acres from Joseph Hansen. The new ground was, and still is located at 7843 SW 37th Street. From 1956 to 1985, Topeka Round-Up Club hosted Kansas State High School Rodeo. Throughout its history club has sponsored horse shows, 100-mile trail rides, square dances, hayrack rides, and the ever popular Work Days. More recently club has hosted such events as Sunflower State Games with events in barrel racing and endurance trail riding. A barrel racing buckle series was another event, and for the past several years, a ranch rodeo, affiliated with American Royal has also been held.
