Food Sustainability Fun Fair

CONGRATULATIONS: 2023 Rowell Ranch Rodeo Parade Chair Chris Carr (left) and Janet Lemmons, Non-Equestrian Sweepstakes Winner: Rowell’s Saddlery and Western Wear.

HOROSCOPE by Salomé © 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19): Single Lambs looking for love could find Cupid aiming at someone you thought (wrongly) was uninterested. Paired Sheep could soon make plans to move into new pastures.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): Level that sharp Bull’s eye of yours directly at the target you’re after. Don’t let yourself get sidetracked by any misleading or deceptive attempts to distract you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Early enthusiasm gives way to a more reflective attitude, as you assess the potential of a new job. Avoid questionable advice. The ultimate decision should be yours.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22): You might need to reassess the responsibility you’ve taken on. Consider delegating some of the tasks to people you trust and focus on those things you do best.

LEO (July 23 - August 22): Don’t be shy about sharing new ideas with your workplace colleagues. Their warm reception and trusted support will soon have you purring with satisfaction.

VIRGO (August 23 - Sept. 22): That uneasiness over a potential commitment should be confronted and dealt with realistically. Find out why you’re delaying an important decision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - October 22): Your business venture gets back into high gear after a brief period of sputtering. Don’t be discouraged. Stay with it. Your hard work and patience will pay off.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): Watch out for a tendency to let things slide in hopes that a problem will correct itself. You need to be more proactive than reactive if you want to see change.

Iam a lifelong rancher here in Alameda County and this rodeo has been a part of my life, well forever. I have been coming here since I was a kid, brought my children here and now my grandchildren.

My whole family participates to make sure our western culture is preserved for future generations. I can assure you, the sport of rodeo really does have its origins in the very activities we do every day on working cattle ranches throughout America.

Being able to put on a rodeo for others to experience this way of life, in a region where I have talked with school children and even neighbors who have never seen a horse, bull or a real cowboy up close, is a responsibility I take very seriously.

If this is your first rodeo, welcome, we hope it won’t be your last. Come see us at the Cowboy Experience before the rodeo on Saturday and Sunday so we can personally answer your questions about rodeo and you can see the animals and equipment up close. Our rodeo stock is valuable, and their health and well-being always comes first.

The Rowell Ranch Pro Rodeo is proud to be a sanctioned rodeo of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. As such, it does not matter if it is a professional event or not, all events at the rodeo are under their strict animal welfare guidelines.

On behalf of the rodeo committee and volunteers who help make the rodeo possible every year, thank you for coming. It is because of the generous support of our sponsors that we can attract the caliber of PRCA cowboys and cowgirls that have built this rodeo into a must stop on their California swing. And it’s the continued support of our sponsors and ticket buyers, such as yourself, that help us give back to our community and other non-profits and charities.

Our heartfelt thanks to all of you for joining us for this annual event.

Sincerely,

–Russ Fields, President Rowell Ranch Pro Rodeo Committee
