It’s rodeo time at Gainesville Saddle Club this Friday and Saturday night
The Arkansas Family Rodeo will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, July 19-20, at the Gainesville Saddle Club Arena.
Saddle club members have been working hard making improvements at the Gainesville arena over the past year. A new concession stand, bathrooms and bleachers are all in place. They’re hoping for a big crowd to attend.
The entry cost is adults $10, ages 6-12 $5, 5 and under is free.
The rodeo, produced by Rand Rodeo Company, will include events for all ages, including open and junior bull riding, mutton busting, mini broncs and mini bull riding, tie down roping and team roping, open and cowgirl break-away roping, barrels, poles and goat untying.
Contestants can enter online bit.ly/AFROEForm until 9 p.m. Thursday.
