This is the second year we have attended this event. It is well put together, and the venue is great. We will continue to attend.
We loved the rodeo, it was so entertaining and well done. Our only suggestion would be to have a standings board and timer display for all the events.
Rodeo was outstanding. Stick and cowboys and cowgirl were all high quality. Sound system was awful. Had a very difficult time understanding what was being said by the announcers were saying.
Not enough contestants. Arena is to small for the events. The timer on Friday night for the barrel race did not function, had to do a flagman/stopwatch .. unprofessional and errors. Won't be going back. Seen better local rodeos.
We attend this rodeo every year., it was a disappointing event this year. It lasted way to long, I've heard the contestants agreed too. The sound system was awful, it was almost impossible to hear what the announcer or entertainment said. It must be improved. The contestant's name and score should have been shown on the display board. Since we couldn't hear, it would have been nice to at least see the names/scores.
Great rodeo and not a bad seat on the house. The giveaways between events could have been more.. they ended up only giving away one shirt. Since it was kids night, there should have been lots more
The rodeo itself was good The music was way to loud and it interferred with the annoucer. I had to put cotton in my ears.
Something new that I have never been before...Amazing.
I was hoping to see the scores posted after each event. I think the animals are getting tired, they were not coming out of the gates or don't want to go in. It was getting to be long, It was over 2 1/2 hrs long.
We couldn’t understand a single word the announcer said. It was all muffled & echoed loudly! We were wondering why the clown was shooting young boys and stacking them up??? Maybe if we could’ve understood the speaker it may have been funny??? But without being able to understand him, it was actually disturbing to watch. Not impressed considering how much the tickets were.
