"The arenas and warm up areas were very dusty the first two days we were there. The management team added more water and controlled the dust better on the third and fourth day, but then the surface got a bit hard, especially in the warm up area."
Keith Crissman
"Attending a rodeo had always been on my To-do list and I am glad I got a chance to attend one. It was a fun filled day for me but particularly enjoyed the barrel racing and of course bull riding. Got food from foodtrucks which was fine. Overall the experience was worthwhile."
