Notes about Rodeo!

4823 S. 6th Ave
520-294-1280
The Rodeo is here!  Trick riders, bull riding, bucking broncos, barrel racing, its a chance for cowboys - and cowgirls - to strut their stuff.

The parade starts it off, check out the website at

The route starts at Ajo and Park, S on Park to Irvington Rd, West on Irvington and North on 6th Ave to the parade grounds.  For more details on grandstand seating, parking, map and tickets see

And, if you didn't feel like popping for an expensive rodeo ticket this year, you have a second chance in a few weeks: March 8 is the College Rodeo thru the UofA:

Less pomp, younger riders - still great fun.

A side note - I think there are legitimate animal rights issues, but compared to the food we eat, in my view rodeo animals have it pretty good.  So my own priority on improving animal rights is more in the areas we don't see.  Comments welcome though (as usual please be concrete and avoid name-calling)
