Every year a private rodeo performance, by invitation only, is held the Friday before the main event for 4,000+ students (grades 3-5). They are from twelve local school districts, private and parochial schools. Excitement runs high as many of the children experience their first taste of professional rodeo. Prior to the event all of the children receive a special booklet which gives information on history of the West and rodeos. This booklet is used as a focal point for their studies of Western history and contributed by the Rodeo Committee and Walmart* - Industry.  Families can learn more about rodeos by downloading our Rodeo Activity Booklet Here
