<h2><em>Rodeo Time!</em></h2>
&nbsp;

<strong>This ain't no Bull.  Rodeo just became an adventure out west!</strong>

The COS Rodeo is unlike any other in the country.  Our Summer Series <em>Open</em> will highlight amateur sports at its best. We are looking for folks who ain't afraid to get a little dirty. So bring your boots and get in the game.  Real men (and ladies) take home bragging rights.  No PRCA card is required to enter this rodeo.

Registration for all events is on line and at the front gate entry.  Early registration is recommended due to limited experience availability.  A signed waiver and release of liability is required for all participants.

<strong>6:30pm Rodeo Start</strong>

The rodeo starts with a traditional <strong>Parade, National Salute and Invocation.  </strong>Our parade will give local equine enthusiast a chance to ride in the big arena.  Decorate your horse and grab a flag for this unique opportunity.  A few extra horses will be available for guests who forgot theirs at home.

All of the little buckaroos are encouraged to participate in the <strong>Calf Scramble.</strong>  This event features a calf with ribbon tied on its tail.  You can imagine the rest.  Buckaroos under 50 lbs can compete in the <strong>Mutton Bustin'</strong> qualifyin' and competition.  Winner gets a small trophy. (5:00-6:00 qualifyin')

Older Colts and Fillies can try their luck in the <strong>Steer Ridin'</strong> competition. This is the entry level competition for learnin' the ropes of Bull ridin'(ages 9-17)

Gentlemen Ranchers can try their hand at <strong>Cattle Sortin'.</strong>  Cattle sorting is one of ranchins' most important skills. The rodeo will provide a couple of horses to ride or you can bring your own.  Hope you don't fall off.  (5:00-6:30 qualifying)
