"A look at the rodeo's Steve will be announcing"

 

This weekend I'll be announcing the X-Treme Rough Stock Rodeo event at the TRAC Arena in Pasco, WA.  The unique feature to this event is the fact that the bucking horses are almost exclusively colts belonging to the Big Bend and Flying 5 Rodeo Companies, owned by Don Hutsell and Sonny Riley.  For these young bucking horses, this event literally represents their first trip to town, which means this thing can get wild. 

 

This weekend features the 12th X-Treme Rough Stock Rodeo at the TRAC, the fun starts at 6:30 and a big crowd always shows up for this wild west spectacle.  Don't miss it, Saturday night, March 3.

March 9-11 it's off to the Walla Walla Community College Rodeo in Walla Walla.  The Walla Walla Rodeo is a three day, four performance event featuring some of the stars of tomorrow in professional rodeo. 

 

NFR qualifiers like Rowdy Buechner, Jason Havens and Brad Goodrich have all competed at this event through the years. 

 

The rodeo has been produced for more than two decades as a partnership between the Walla Walla Community College Rodeo program and local agencies in Walla Walla like the Exchange Club who put a large portion of the proceeds back into Child Abuse Prevention programs.  Nearly $300,000 has been raised through the years in the fight against Child Abuse. 

 

The first performance is Friday, March 9 at 7 PM.
