We’ve all heard the phrases such as “there’s a new kid or sheriff in town,” but in just a few weeks, Folsom can utter the words that there’s a new clown in town—rodeo clown, that is. Dalton Morris, better known as Disco Dalton, has been signed on to entertain fans at the 2024 Folsom Pro Rodeo next month. Officials from Choose Folsom, which presents the Folsom Pro Rodeo, announced the news Tuesday afternoon.
“We are excited to welcome Disco Dalton as our new entertainer at this year’s Folsom Pro Rodeo on July 3, 4, and 5. Don’t miss Dalton’s spectacular performance and wit that offers fun for the entire family. Get ready to laugh and be wowed,” said the Folsom Chamber of Commerce and Choose Folsom in their announcement.
Morris was born to entertain. The dream he had at three years old is the same one today, and he has made it into a lifestyle. He dressed up, put the makeup on, and walked into his first arena and has yet to look back. Through it all, Morris has been keeping fans wide-eyed and laughing across the country.
Since his humble beginning, Morris has performed at several rodeo finals, including the PRCA Wilderness Circuit Finals. He has performed in the U.S., Canada, and Saudi Arabia. In 2018, he was awarded Champion Barrelman as well as Champion Specialty Act with his trick roping act. Dalton’s entertainment doesn’t stop in the rodeo world. Not only is he a PRCA and PBR entertainer, but he is also a professional trick roper and a hype man. Dalton has traveled the country for several years entertaining Pro Rodeo, Pro Bull Riding, and horse fair fans.
You can find Professional Rodeo Entertainer Dalton Morris making crowds of all ages laugh with his humorous antics, trick roping, and T-shirt launching skills. You just never know what Dalton may have up his sleeve to keep you entertained.
Keeping an audience involved, entertained, and their attention struck are the main goals of a hype man. Dalton has expanded his value from not only a rodeo entertainer or trick roper but also as a hype man, according to his entertainment biography. “As the world changes, so does the performance of an entertainer,” he cites. Besides rodeo, Dalton has also performed at corporate events, horse fairs, and expos. Dalton uses comedy and crowd interaction to keep the show lively.
Dalton was a senior in high school when he was asked to learn a new skill for a class project. He had always admired the art of trick roping; therefore, he decided to practice the skill. Since that time, he has performed at several rodeo finals, corporate events, and special events, including the PRCA Wilderness Circuit Finals. In 2018, he won the International Finals Rodeo Showcase (IFR) in both the barrelman competition and the specialty act competition. Dalton has traveled the country for the past several years entertaining rodeos, horse shows, and bull-riding fans. He has also performed in several Las Vegas hotels, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as well as Dolly Parton’s “Stampede” in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
You can find Morris amusing crowds and keeping everyone entertained at the Folsom Pro Rodeo as it rides into town July 3, 4, and 5. Tickets are already being sold online at www.folsomprorodeo.com.

One day following the Folsom Pro Rodeo will be the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Rodeo, a new addition to Folsom this year as previously announced in a Folsom Times news article.
