By By

Will and Tammy Payne wanted to sponsor a family friendly event that brings everyone out for a good time.
The area is always in need of new events and things for families to do, so they want to encourage everyone to come out and enjoy this exciting event in its fifth year at the Huntington arena on Sept. 20.
It might be your last chance to get out and enjoy the fall weather before winter sets in.
The Broncs and Bulls all rough stock rodeo will be Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. Mark your calendars for some good times at the rodeo.
This year’s event will include: bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, hide race, donkey roping and adult money grab.
Back by popular demand is the Fourth Annual Children’s Rodeo.
The kids rodeo action runs from 4-6 p.m. with a stick horse barrel race, mutton bustin, junior barrels, calf riding, chicken chase, cash calf, mini bronc riding and mini bull riding.
Call if you want to enter the mini broncs or mini bulls.
The childrens rodeo has been well received and gives local children, who may otherwise never get the opportunity, a chance to have a rodeo experience.
Event organizers said, “We want to have low ticket prices so families can afford to come and enough added money to attract good quality riders to put on a great show.
It is important to us that this be a family event with good entertainment.”
“This year we will be giving Gist Silversmiths Spurs and coats to our rough stock event winners.”
The main event begins at 7 p.m. It might be chilly so bring a jacket and come catch the fun of the rough stock events.
If you’d like to try the hide race or the other events you can call Tammy at 749-1471 to register.
Family passes are $25, kids age 5 and under are free. ages 6-12 is $6 and adults age 13 and up are $8.
