Rodeo attracts record crowds on both nights
By Mark Ribble The return of the Sun Parlour Rodeo was a huge success this year with sold out shows on Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31. The 19th annual event brings the total donated to local charities over the years to over a half million dollars. The Pavao and Carvalho families took to the stage during the shows to thank those in attendance and the numerous sponsors who make the rodeo possible each year.
After a two-year hiatus due to COVID restrictions, rodeo fans flocked to the property on County Rd. 18 in droves. For the first time ever, they had to turn people away at the gate. When the show began, it was non-stop action from Rawhide Rodeo Company and their cowboys, cowgirls and animal athletes. While the totals are not yet available, organizers expect a large sum to be donated to local charities.
