Eee Haw. This is the season to celebrate our cowboys and cowgirls in Oakdale.
This is one of the longest running rodeos on the west coast live from the Cowboy Capitol of Oakdale. This is one of the most famous rodeos that even attracted the attention of the $6,000,000 man Lee Majors and Farrah Fawcett Majors back in the 70s. You never know who you may see. TV stars or not, Rodeo superstars will be all over this event to compete in the PRCA events. The civic festivities start early the week of April 4 and get crazier as it leads up to the weekend finals. One of the highlights of the whole week is Rodeo parade Saturday morning. Key rendezvous points are the H-B Bar where they make an amazing ViewCrew tested Bloody Mary. The weekend events at the rodeo grounds are great for the whole family as there is a lot of food, fun, thrills and spills. Plus you want walk through a lot of the corrals there and see some of the most amazing animals and check out the Cowboy and Cowgirl actions. There year there will be a special tribute to Betty Grohl, (pictured here) at the Cowgirl Luncheon.
So saddle up, get your spurs on and head to Oakdale for the rodeo Good times.
