80TH ANNUAL CHANDLER OPEN RODEO It’s that time of year again! The 80th Annual Chandler Open Rodeo will be on us before we know it. July 24th & 25th will be an action packed weekend for the entire family. The summer heat won’t be as hot as the rodeo action happening in the arena. Watch top-notch contestants compete for prize money in the age old tradition that is rodeo. Events featured will be Bareback Riding, Ranch Bronc Riding, Tie Down Roping, Barrel Racing, Ladies Breakaway Roping, Team Roping and Bull Riding. Athletes from all over including, professional cowboys from other states to hometown heroes come to compete for prize money. The high money winner of the weekend will have a shot to win the coveted custom Bill Kluender spurs. The rodeo also provides an opportunity for the youngest of competitors in the Jr. Barrels 15 & Under as well as the nightly calf scramble. Local businesses and their employees prefer the wildly popular Baby Bale Sprint. It’s a race by teams of 3 pushing a 600 lb hay bale across the finish line to raise money for local charities. Come out and enjoy the fun. Queen contestants will have advance tickets for sale. If unable to find a Rodeo Queen contestant, contact Chandler Roundup Club member Mike Bendele with United Country Real Estate at 405-258-0408.
