and the Farm-City Pro Rodeo’s grand entry plays a key part in that.
³,t gets the crowd ¿red up at the Eeginning,´ grand entry director

Each night of the rodeo features a sweeping grand entry, with
nine cowgirls in the rodeo’s signature red, turquoise and gold rid-

American Àag. 2Yer the years the riders haYe changed and added
routines for different nights of the week, Eut their signature routine

³That routine and song has neYer changed,´ Griggs said.
