CHARRO SHOW
featuring Escaramuza El Centenario
On Sunday afternoon September 18, main Horse Show Arena at the Fairgrounds transforms itself from a competitive horsemanship arena into a performance venue. The traditional Charro show returns with a start time of 4 PM. This year sees the addition of Escaramuza El Centenario, a Charra group of highly skilled horse women. Charreria is the art and style of Mexican horsemanship plus a good dose of performance art, roping, and daring stunts, all to the driving beat of a live Banda. The sport has been described as “living history,” or as an art form drawn from the demands of a working life with both men and women performing. This is a show with something for all cultures.
