racing returns where teams of
three capture, bridle, mount
and ride a bucking horse
around the arena. For the teens, Broncs and Bulls has added wild
pony racing.
Food vendors will be onsite, and the Elks Club will run the beer
garden.
The entertainment begins with mutton busting, followed by wild
pony racing ahead of the grand entry.
Other events during rodeo breaks will be four rounds of “$20 the
Hard Way” where kids are let loose in the arena to chase a sheep that
is carrying a $20 bill.
For the grown ups, Broncs and Bulls has a new game called “Bull
Poker.” As card players deal a round of poker a bull is sent into the
arena. The last poker player at the table wins.
