A PUBLICATION OF THE FOLSOM TELEGRAPH FOR THE FOLSOM PRO RODEO - 5

Welcome to the 55th Folsom Pro Rodeo—the area’s favorite place to celebrate the holiday!

The Folsom Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the region for its continued support

of this family event offering fun and excitement for all ages.

We hope you enjoy the region’s best reworks display lighting up the sky each night of the

rodeo. Set to music, this patriotic display of brilliant color is an outstanding tribute to our

country. It is a tradition we are proud to present each year.

The motocross performance which takes place just prior to the reworks is truly amazing.

Who can resist the cute appeal of mutton busting cowboys and cowgirls as they grab a

handful of wool and ride their sheep to victory? These are just a few of the highlights of the

Folsom Pro Rodeo. There are many more, such as the popular silver dollar dig (sponsoredby Whole Foods), the arrival of the giant American Flag by a skydiver and the traditional

fast-paced rodeo action.

This year, we are excited to offer our fans the ability to get a close-up look at the action in

full-color video on the JumboVision screen. With dynamic lming, fans won’t miss a sec-

ond of the fun from rodeo action to the high-ying motocross antics.

Our presenting sponsors are Folsom Chevrolet, Coors and Jack Daniels. Their generous

support, in addition to the support of many other Folsom businesses and corporations,

help the Folsom Pro Rodeo come alive. Please visit these businesses when you can and let

them know you “saw them at the rodeo!”

The Folsom Pro Rodeo is truly a community event. It becomes a reality each year through

the hard work of many organizations including our youth groups and service clubs who

help out with everything from parking cars to selling sodas and refreshments. The chamber

and community groups utilize the revenue raised from the rodeo to benet the Folsom

community in a number of ways. The chamber and its afliate organizations support many

community events, student scholarships and provide many services to assist our local busi-

nesses in addition to spearheading economic development activity in our city so it can

continue to be a vibrant economic hub in the region and throughout the state.

All of these factors blend together to make Folsom a great community. If you wish to learn

more about Folsom or the Folsom Chamber of Commerce, please visit us at folsomcham-

ber.com or visitfolsom.com.

IT’S BEEN 23 YEARS of hot dogs, apple pie,the Folsom Pro Rodeo and Folsom Chevrolet.

This year, Marshal Crossan, owner of FolsomChevrolet, will serve as grand marshal of the

55th annual Folsom Pro Rodeo in honor of hislong term support of the rodeo and the commu-nity.

It all started in 1992 when Roger Zittel, formermanager of the Folsom Chamber of Commerce,

encouraged new to town Folsom Chevroletowner Crossan to become a sponsor of the Fol-som Pro Rodeo for a $500 donation. In thosedays, the rodeo was a “rough and tumble” tra-dition spanning four days that coincided witha weeklong “Western Days Celebration.” Theentertainment was rooted in mainstream rodeowith cowboys, bulls and broncs.

Fast forward to today and the rodeo has evolvedinto a family-friendly event featuring muttonbusters, patriotic tributes such as the arrival of

the American Flag by skydiver and outstandingnightly reworks.

From the very beginning, Crossan wanted tobe a part of this very important communityholiday tradition and Folsom Chevrolet soontook its place as one of the presenting spon-

sors of the rodeo.

“I’ve always felt Folsom Chevrolet should beinvolved in the biggest event in Folsom,” saidCrossan. “I love the rodeo. I’ve watched it transi-tion from a simple rodeo to a wonderful family

event for the region. We are proud to again be apresenting sponsor.”

But Crossan’s dedication has included morethan just supporting the rodeo. He has been along term member of both the Folsom Cham-ber of Commerce Board of Directors and theFolsom Tourism and Economic DevelopmentBoard. Folsom Chevrolet supports many othercommunity organizations as well.

“It’s important for all businesses to support our

community,” he said. “It’s what makes Folsomso special.”

Crossan will be front and center in the FolsomCattle Drive July 1 (probably driving one of theFolsom Chevrolet show cars) and he will be hon-ored each night of the rodeo.

A PROFESSIONAL COWBOY doesn’t get paid tocompete. He pays for that privilege. He doesn’ttravel in luxury; he usually spends hours drivingfrom event to event. If he wins his event, he will

likely earn the amount of money equal to thecost of getting to the Folsom Pro Rodeo.

Rodeo is the only sport in the world that wasdeveloped from a job. In the old west, cowboysfrom different ranches challenged each otheron who could do their work faster and moreefciently.

The seven events in professional rodeo remaintrue to their origins. All sanctioned ProfessionalRodeo Cowboy Association rodeos have these

events such as the popular bull and bronc rid-ing, steer wrestling, barrel racing, saddle-broncriding, calf roping and team roping.

At the Folsom Pro Rodeo, set for July 2, 3 and4, cowboys compete in timed events at 7 p.m.followed by grand entry at 8:15 p.m. Followingthe grand entry are the riding events, includ-ing bull riding, bareback riding, saddle broncriding, barrel racing and of course, the popularmutton busting.

There are specic rules for each competition.

Here is a brief summary about some of theevents.

Bull Riding: While most of the rodeo eventshave roots in ranch work, bull riding evolvedfrom the cowboy’s fearless and perhaps foolhar-dy nature. With those massive horns and pureattitude, it’s easy to see bull riding is the mostdangerous sport in rodeo. A bull bucks different-

ly than a horse, so the rider must be preparedfor a downward thrust that could throw himover the animal’s head. The surprisingly agilebull, which weighs about 2,000 pounds, often

spins as he bucks. Bull riders ride only with aat-braided rope pulled tight around the bulland across their gloved riding hand. The rideruses his free arm and body to counter the bull’sspins and lunges, while spurring with his feet.For a qualied ride, the rider must hold ontothe rope and not touch the ground or any partof the bull with his free hand or arm for eightseconds. If even his hand brushes the animal,he is disqualied. Extra points are awarded forspurring and turning out the toes. The athleticperformance of both the cowboy and the bull

determines the score.

Barrel Racing: Women’s barrel racing is an im-portant part of the rugged sport of professionalrodeo. The clock is the one and only judge ofthis contest. A rider must run barrels in a clover-leaf pattern starting at either side of the pattern.The distance between the barrels varies with thesize of the arena. The barrel racer is allowed arunning start and is timed with an electronictimer. The rider is disqualied if the pattern isincorrectly run. Any time under 17 seconds isconsidered to be excellent. In barrel racing, the

coordination between horse and rider is crucial.

Saddle Bronc Riding: This is the classic event ofthe rodeo. It requires the balance of a gymnast,the timing of a springboard diver and the graceof a dancer—all aboard a 1,200 pound twisting,pitching horse. For a qualied ride, a saddlebronc rider’s feet must touch the horse’s shoul-ders on the rst jump out of the chute. The rider,

gripping a thick rein attached to the horse’s hal-ter, attempts to place his feet over the horse’sshoulders a split second before the animal’sfeet strike the ground. As the horse bucks, the

rider bends his knees and nishes his spurringstroke near the “cantle” (back of the saddle)then snaps his feet back to the horse’s shouldersas the animal’s front feet hit the ground. Unlikebareback riding, the cowboy is aiming for a “u-id” ride in tune with the horse and he’s prevent-ed from touching the horse with his free hand.The event is judged by both time and physicalperformance of both horse and rider.

Bareback Riding: To get an idea of the strengthrequired in bareback riding, imagine riding a

jackhammer as if it were a pogo stick, holdingon with only one hand. This event is consideredthe most demanding. Riders grasp a “rigging,”a handhold made of leather which is secured tothe horse with a cinch. After the initial jump outof the chute, the cowboy pulls his spurs up thehorse’s neck and shoulders until the spurs arenearly touching the rigging. A bareback rider is

judged on his spurring technique and how farhe leans back to take whatever happens duringhis ride.

Team Roping: This is the only true team event

in professional rodeo. One cowboy, the header,waits behind a barrier until the steer has takenits head start. He must rope the steer aroundone horn, two horns or around the neck. Theheeler follows the header by roping the steer’shind feet. Catching only one foot with the roperesults in a ve-second penalty. This is a timedevent.

TODAY’S FOLSOM PRO RODEO is a spectacularthree-night show highlighting a way of life that is

part of the city’s heritage. At the time of the rst ro-deo, in 1960, Folsom was a “cowtown” in the bestsense of the word.

The city was the commercial hub for the manydairy and beef cattle ranches in the surroundingarea. The ranching families mainly came from earlysettlers who settled during the Gold Rush. The landwas too rocky and the soil too poor for farming,but the large expanses of open land suited cattleraising, and the ranches were handed down fromgeneration to generation.

At the same time, the city was beginning to changeand grow. Folsom Dam was completed four years

earlier, creating a recreational draw for people whowanted to live and work near the lake.

The rst rodeo was a small community affair, partof the larger one-day 4th of July celebration.

On June 28, 1960, the Folsom Telegraph reported,“The Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club and FireDepartment of Folsom, together with the localmerchants, are planning a truly Old-FashionedFourth of July this year with plenty of reworks,patriotic observances and many unusual events.”

The late Jim “Digger” Williams, along with his wife,Sharon, was there that rst year. Digger described

the rst rodeo like this: “There was a group of guyswho met in the morning at the coffee shop in the

bowling alley. They were talking about a rodeo andI got excited because I had traveled on weekends

with my boss back in Ohio who was a bull rider. Ihelped him out. I loved rodeos, so I volunteeredto hold the fence where it was tied together by awire to let the riders in and out. We were lucky thatnone of the bulls tried to get out.”

In 1962, the rodeo moved from its makeshift sitein the Folsom City Park into the Dan Russell RodeoArena which was constructed by Russell, a long-time cattle rancher.

Fifty-ve years later, the Folsom Pro Rodeo contin-ues to provide family entertainment and outstand-

ing reworks every July 4th holiday.

A STIRRING RED, WHITE AND BLUE SALUTE will take place at the Folsom Pro Rodeo in ad-dition to fast-paced action of bucking bulls andbroncs.

Kent Lane, skydiver extraordinaire, will drop

from the sky each night trailing a 2,000 squarefoot American ag during the Folsom Pro Ro-deo. During a short free-fall from 4,500 feet,Lane speaks to the audience via a helmetmounted radio system, deploys a canopy andlowers the ag. He guides the parachute andag to a soft landing in the middle of the rodeoarena. A six-person ground crew respects thegiant ag by whisking it off the ground the mo-ment it touches the arena. Lane builds his ownags from lightweight nylon parachute fabrics.

FOLSOM PRO RODEO'S PATRIOTIC SALUTE


16/40


FOLSOM IS JUST ONE OF THE 600 rodeos sanc-tioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Associ-ation each year.

The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association(PRCA), headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colo.,

is the largest and oldest rodeo-sanctioning body inthe world. The recognized leader in professionalrodeo, the PRCA is committed to maintaining thehighest standards in the industry from improvingworking conditions for contestants and monitor-ing livestock welfare to boosting entertainmentvalue and promoting sponsors

Legend has it that rodeo was born on July 4, 1869when two groups of cowboys from neighboringranches met in Deer Trail, CO, to settle an argumentover who was the best at performing everydayranching tasks. That competition is considered to

be the rst rodeo which evolved into rodeo as weknow it today.

Today's professional rodeo cowboy is a bit differentfrom his 1800s predecessor, but the ideals andshowmanship and hard work are still valued bytoday's competitors. A cowboy's standing in therodeo community is still dependent on his skillwith a rope or his ability to ride a bucking animal.The cowboy code still dictates that a cowboy oughtto help his fellow competitors, even though theymight be competing for the same paycheck.

The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association(PRCA) was created almost by accident in 1936when a group of cowboys walked out of a rodeoat the Boston Gardens to protest the actions ofrodeo promoter W.T. Johnson, who refused to addthe cowboys' entry fees to the rodeo's total purse.

Johnson nally gave in to the cowboys' demands,and the successful "strike'' led to the formation ofthe Cowboys' Turtle Association.

The cowboys chose that name because, while theywere slow to organize, when push nally came to

shove, they weren't afraid to stick their necks out toget what they wanted.In 1945, the Turtles changedtheir name to the Rodeo Cowboys Association, andin 1975, the organization became the PRCA.

Here are some key facts about participants in Pro-

Rodeo and the PRCA:

FANS. ProRodeo attracts about 30 million fans,many of whom attend PRCA-sanctioned rodeosaround the country annually. According to theSports Business Daily, rodeo is seventh in overallattendance for major sporting events, ahead ofgolf and tennis

COMPETITION. Unlike most other professionalsports, where contestants are paid salaries regard-less of how well they do at a particular competition,cowboys generally pay to enter each rodeo. If they

place high enough to win money, they probablymake a prot. If they don’t, they’ve actually losttheir entry fee and any travel expenses, so everyentry is a gamble pitting the chance for loss andphysical injury against the chance for nancialwindfalls and athletic glory. Also unlike most sanc-tioned professional sports, the hundreds of “play-ing elds” – rodeo arenas – of PRCA-sanctionedrodeos vary widely by locale. The size, shape, pe-rimeter and roof/open top of an arena, as well asthe chute conguration, greatly affect times fortimed events and, to a lesser extent, scores for

roughstock events. The differences are so signi-cant that some timed-event cowboys own differenthorses for different types of arenas

COWBOYS. The PRCA’s membership includesmore than 7,000 cowboys and performers (includ-ing permit holders and contract personnel), thelargest segment of the association’s membership– more than 5,300 of who are actively competing.This membership segment includes a full range ofcontestants, from cowboys who compete in profes-sional rodeo for a living, crisscrossing the countrywith their own horses or equipment, as well as

those who work at other jobs during the week andcompete in nearby rodeos on the weekends. ThePRCA includes two $3 million earners and morethan 80 million-dollar earners, yet most of itscompeting members participate in fewer than 30rodeos each year.

STOCK CONTRACTORS. All PRCA rodeo events in-volve livestock, and the care of those animals fallsto the stock contractors who buy or breed them,raise them, feed them, watch over them, providemedical care when necessary, and transport themsafely between rodeos and their home pastures.PRCA stock contractors agree to follow more than60 rules providing for the care and humane treat-ment of livestock — the toughest standards in theindustry — and constantly look for ways to improvetheir husbandry, knowing that best practices pro-duce top-performing livestock

CONTRACT PERSONNEL. The noncontestantpersonnel working a rodeo include the bullght-ers, who help bull riders escape from powerfulrodeo bulls; the barrelmen, clowns and specialtyacts, who entertain the crowds; pickup men, whohelp bareback and saddle bronc riders dismount,then prepare and assist bucking stock to leave thearena; announcers, who call the action; arena sec-retaries, who handle extensive administrative du-ties; and timers, who operate the clocks for timedand roughstock events.

COMMITTEES. Local rodeo committees organizethe PRCA-sanctioned rodeos held across the con-tinent. Most are run by dedicated groups of volun-teers who make the rodeos work from behind thescenes, procuring local sponsors for events, awardsand programs; setting up safe facilities; stafngvarious functions and making the contestants andattendees feel at home. Many PRCA rodeos arehighly involved in their communities in both ser-vice and fund-raising areas.

BARRIER - a rope stretched across the front of the box from which the roperor steer wrestler’s horse emerges. This rope is attached to the steer or calf andallows the animal a head start.

BRONC REIN - rein attached to the horse’s halter for balance while riding a

saddle bronc.

CHUTE - the pen that holds the animal in order of the rider to get on andprepare for his ride.

DALLY - a turn at the end of the rope around the saddle horn after the animalis caught.

HAZER - a cowboy who rides beside a steer on the opposite sided of the steerwrestler. His job is to keep the steer running straight and close to the contes-tant’s horse.

PICKUP MAN - a mounted cowboy who helps the rider off of a bronc when

the ride is completed. The pickup man also removes the ank strap from thebronc and leads it out of the arena.

RE-RIDE - another ride given to a bronc or bull rider when the rst ride isruled by judges as unsatisfactory. Reasons for granting a re-ride: being“fouled” on the chutes or the horse failing to buck hard enough to give therider a fair chance.

RANK - a bull or bronc that is hard to ride.

ROWEL - circular, notched portion of a spur. To be used in rodeo competition,the rowel must be dull. In the bareback and saddle bronc riding, rowels must

be loose in order to roll over the horse’s hide. In the bull riding, the rowels areloosely locked to help the bull rider stay on.

SCORE - the length of the head start given to the steer or calf in the timedevents.

SLACK - a time, usually late at night or early in the morning, other than duringthe performance when the “extra” contestants compete in the rodeo. Thereare only 8 - 12 slots in each rodeo performance for each event, when morecontestants enter than can compete in the performances, they compete in“slack”.

BOBBY KERR has been working as a horsetrainer for more than 40 years and will showhorses this year at the Folsom Pro Rodeo.

“It’s very rewarding training horses, especiallymustangs,” Kerr said. “Both of my horses were

wild horses. The trust they give me is unreal.”

Kerr is the founder of the Texas Cowboy Hall ofFame (TCHF) now located in the Stockyards inFort Worth, Texas. He is also a talented crafts-man. For more than 20 years he owned and op-erated Cowboy Art, creating many custom metalsigns and xtures. These custom pieces havebeen purchased and collected by people allover the world. From home decor he moved onto custom motorcycles which he designed and

built with his son, Cody. Cody was the mechanic,they both did the fabrication and Kerr did all thepainting.

“This is my rst year at Folsom,” Kerr said. “I’mreal excited to be there. I will be entertaining

in a wild west show kind of way. I will show thecrowd how trainable and amazing our Ameri-can mustangs are while educating them at thesame time.”

Kerr said animal safety is his top priority.

“My horses are like family,” Kerr said. “I havetrained and shown reining, roping, working cowhorse and cutting.”

THE FLYING COWBOYS will get Folsom ProRodeo attendees on their feet while ying 35feet in the air with their jaw-dropping freestylemotocross show.

Professional rider Nick Dunne, 28, of Redding,started riding at the age of 4 and has riddenprofessionally for the last 10 years.

“People think we are nuts,” Dunne said laugh-ing. “We are jumping 35 feet in the air withgaps reaching 75 feet long. I love having peo-ple come out to the rodeo and blowing theirminds.”

This year two professional riders will perform at9 p.m. July 2-July 4 at the Folsom Pro Rodeo.

“There is not training for this sport,” Dunne said.

“It is more for an individual sport. Each rider hastheir own style and expression while perform-ing.”

Dunne said he enjoys performing at rodeos be-cause it brings a unique element for audiences.

“I look at the bull riders and think they nuts, andthey look at us l ike we are nuts. But together weput on a really good show,” Dunne said.

He said it is really good to have the variety ofentertainment for rodeo crowds because manytimes they have not seen a motocross rider.

“People who watch rodeos aren’t always usedto us, and visa versa, motocross audiences arenot used to watching bull-riding,” he said. “Sotogether we bring a diverse crowd out. It is al-ways our goal to show them new things andhopefully expand their horizons.”

Dunne said the professional riders, includingrider Luke Dolin, will be available for autographsafter performing at the Folsom Pro Rodeo.

THE PAINTED LADIES Rodeo Performers enter-tain crowds with high-intensity drills, beautifulcostumes and painted horses.

Jennifer Macias-Sweeney, of Sacramento,founded the Painted Ladies Rodeo Performersmore than 20 years ago in the Sacramento re-gion. Painted Ladies Rodeo Drill Team was es-tablished in 1993 and in 2003 they renamedthe team to Painted Ladies Rodeo Performers.

Along with performing at rodeos, the Painted

Ladies sponsor the Folsom Pro Rodeo Queenand contest every year for the rodeo.

“Folsom is our hometown rodeo,” Macias-Swee-ney said. “We like to get the crowds up on theirfeet and put smiles on their faces.”

Macias-Sweeney started riding horses 45 yearsago as a young girl.

“I grew up in South Sacramento and wanted apony as a kid. So my dad bought me a horse. I

did the regular showing growing up and didn’tcare for competitions, but I loved entertaining.”

Macias-Sweeney said the Painted Ladies RodeoPerformers was a perfect t for her and a need-ed organization in the region.

Currently the group has more than 20 membersand all members have full-time jobs in additionto their riding performances.

“We are all out there for the love of horses and

COWBOYS AND BULL RIDING are only oneaspect of the annual Folsom Pro Rodeo—the ro-deo queen will also brighten up the arena thisFourth of July weekend.

Miss Folsom Rodeo Queen contest was held on June 14 at the Sacramento Horseman Associa-tion and judged contestants in specic catego-ries including horsemanship pattern, interview,personal interview, modeling, impromptu andspeech, said Megan Murphy, with the FolsomChamber of Commerce.

“Lauren Gilbert was Miss Folsom Pro Rodeo2014, and has been an active participant in herrole as our rodeo queen,” Murphy said.

Gilbert, 24, of Grass Valley, has been riding

horses since the age of 6 and loves to barrel raceduring her free time.

“As Miss Folsom Pro Rodeo, I have traveled to

15 different rodeos around the region in the lastyear,” Gilbert said. “It have been a blast to workwith different rodeos, meet new people andwork to encourage our younger generations tovisit rodeos and keep this sport alive.”

She said one of the biggest lessons she learnedduring her experience as Miss Folsom Pro Ro-deo 2014 was to simply enjoy the experience.

“The biggest lesson that I’ve learned over thepast year is to utilize my time as queen wisely

and be involved in everything possible,” Gil-bert said. “As queen, we only have one year to

represent our rodeo and take advantage of theopportunities that come from this experience.”

This year’s queen contestants made several

appearances at pre-rodeo “posse” events tointroduce themselves to the community andpromote the Folsom Pro Rodeo. They also partic-ipated in the Painted Ladies Rodeo Night at theRivercats Game on June 19.

“The Folsom Pro Rodeo has an amazing show,”Gilbert said. “There is denitely something for ev-eryone and it action is nonstop at Folsom’s rodeo.”

RODEO RIDING isn’t just for adults—young cow-boys and cowgirls will show their stuff in thearena at this year’s junior rodeo demonstration.

Last year, the junior rodeo demonstration fea-tured only one participant.

“It was so popular, we’re adding more juniorrodeo this year,” said Anita Schoeppach, whosedaughter is involved in junior rodeo.

This year there will be approximately ve chil-dren participating who are 7-13 years old.

Payton Schoeppach, 13, has been involved inrodeo since she was 6 years old. This year shewill be riding Bartender Nic for barrel racingand Ricky for roping. Both are quarter horses,the most common breed for rodeos, Anita said.

The junior demonstrations will include barrelracing, breakaway roping, ribbon roping andteam roping. According to Anita, the averagetime for these events depends on the agegroup. For junior ropers, 5-7 seconds is average,with standout times coming in at 3-5 seconds.

“They actually love what they do and they’reextremely good at it,” Anita said of the young ro-deo participants. “It takes work and dedicationto be as good as they are, and the relationshipbetween them and their horses is something

pretty special.”Check out all the young cowboys and cowgirlsparticipating in this year’s junior rodeo demon-stration at the Folsom Pro Rodeo July 2, 3 and 4.

FOLSOM RODEO FANS will be able to witnessclose ups of rodeo they’ve never before experi-enced.

Snorting bulls as they charge from the chutetrying to unseat their rider or the look of deter-mination on the face of a mutton buster as theygrab a handful of wool will all be projected onthe large video screen viewable from the entirearena.

JumboVision—a 21 foot by 11 foot high-reso-

lution screen—projects the same outstandingquality as the Samsung sign in New York City’sTime Square, according to owner Brian Roatof AboutHereTV. The company also provides a

screen regularly at the Sacramento Republicsoccer games.

This new screen has been designed with the Fol-som Pro Rodeo in mind with a taller turntablelift to ensure optimum viewing from every seat.While the rodeo had a similar screen last year,this year’s JumboVision is larger.

There will be multiple live cameras providingup close and personal footage as well as instantreplay. Roving cameras will also be engagingthe audience.

“We will be adding the wow effect,” said Roat.“It was so cool last year to be able to lm thecowboys getting on the bulls in the chutes andwatch closely as they charged out into the arena.It was really epic,” he said. “We look forward toshowing fans this action again.”

Roping and riding can be hard work, but the Fol-som Pro Rodeo has rustled up plenty of grub tofeed the whole family.

“Come hungry to the rodeo,” said Libby Siino,event producer. “We have a large selectionof traditional rodeo food to choose from withsomething for everyone.”

Along with barbecue, hot dogs, tacos, burgers

and more, guests can indulge in sweet treatslike ice cream and kettlecorn.

If you’re looking to quench your thirst, there willbe a selection of beers available, as well as dif-ferent varieties of lemonade, sodas and water.

This year, the buckaroo pack ticket option in-cludes four hot dogs from Dave’s Dawgs. Otherfood vendors at this year’s rodeo will include

Jimboy’s Tacos, Big Joe’s BBQ, Deluxe Burgers,Deluxe Chinese, Rich’s Ice Cream Catering, B&HPopcorn, Randy Peters Catering and Sierra Korn.

“There are a bunch of great food options so fam-ilies should come hungry and have dinner atthe rodeo,” Siino said.
