Rodeo Turnout Estimates Vary
Rodeo, the most unique sport in
America, is also one of the largest,
Guesses on annual attendance are
plentiful and highly contradictory,
ranging from 10 to 53 million. What
ever the exact figure, it ranks
among the top sports in America,
just behind football and baseball
as a crowd-getter.
This sport is unusual in that it
is of native origin. Other popular
spectator sports of this country
have all originated in some similar
form in other sections of the globe
Rodeo however, first saw the light
of day, as such, in the Southwest,
The term rodeo itself has been
rather late in arriving. Until the
1920's contests such as those found
in present day rodeos were known
by various titles such as stam
pedes, roundups and frontier Days,
Rodeo is still principally a com
munity project, organized by local
groups as a form of entertainment
found most satisfying to the great
est number of people.
There is no way to estimate ac
curately the attendance at all ro
deos since there is no way to even
count the contests held each year
outside the jurisdiction of the Ro
deo Cowboy Assn. A generally ac
cepted figure is that all other ro
deos, including junior, high school,
collegiate and amateur contests
should add another II or 12 million
to the overall attendance.
MARITIME NUISANCE
MAL1BU, Calif. W Seals may
be known as the frolicking clowns
of the briny, hut to William Ashcr
! of Malihu they are a maritime
nuisance.
The crew of a live bait boat first
noticed something was afoot or
a-fm aboard Asher's new 17
foot outboard cabin cruiser anchor-
jed off Malibu Pier.
They investigated and found a
passel of seals cavorting around,
having a ball.
Asher's new boat was slowly
; sinking under the combined weight
of several thousand pounds of live
j seal.
The seals were chased off and
Asher's boat saved.
FESTIVAL PLANS were co-ordinated by Curley Reynolds
of Roseburg, shown here with his wife Georgia. Reynolds
helped schedule events for the program and was one of
the many local club members who arranged the festival.
