Foothills Equestrian Nature Center, FENCE, invites the community to enjoy an entertaining evening at the Round-Up Rodeo on Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18. Friday night is “Family Night,” but kids of all ages are welcome both nights. The rodeo begins at 7:30 p.m with gates opening at 6 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase at the gate. Children 10 and under receive free admission. The rodeo will be in the covered arena and offers plenty of on-site parking. The event is rain or shine.

 

This rodeo is sanctioned by the International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA) and features bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, cowgirls break away roping, team roping, cowgirls barrel racing, and tie-down roping.
