It’s time to rodeo, folks. My favorite event is the mutton bustin’ – those kids are so darned cute. Even if you aren’t going for the evening shows, it’s fun to wander the grounds.

Here’s a hint -buying tickets online is a bit cheaper than at the gate. For adult day passes, it’s $10 online and $12 at the gate. Folks 65-plus and children 3-12 are $5, and little ones 2 and younger are free.
