Outside the arena, we will have a full BBQ meal in our beautiful park area.  Proceeds benefit the Greenhorn Mountain Veterans Association. We will also have a large variety of vendors on the grounds; so come early and shop! Our Grand Entry will begin at 1 PM with a special salute to our veterans and a moving patriotic presentation. This year's rodeo will feature the talents of Clown/Barrelman Jeff Garner from Arizona. He will delight the crowds with his humor and athletic abilities! Our Queen Coronation will be at 1:20 and then it's Rodeo Time!

THE GLENNVILLE RODEO IS NOW PART OF THE ALL AMERICAN PRORODEO SERIES!  This ambitious new project for the PRCA attracts the top talent in the PRCA to small rodeo's like ours. Cowboys and Cowgirls who compete in the ALL AMERICAN PRORODEO SERIES earn points to qualify them for the ALL AMERICAN PRORODEO SERIES FINALS.  Lucky qualifiers will compete at the finals in Waco, Texas in November, where they ride for their share of the $500,000 prize money. As a ALL AMERICAN ProRodeo even in 2010, the GLENNVILLE RODEO anticipates double the entries in almost every event. This year, we will be having an additional two hours of "slack" following the official PRCA Rodeo event -- and you are all invited to stay and watch!

The RODEO DANCE is on Saturday night beginning  at 8 PM. Dance proceeds will be going directly to the Greenhorn Mountain Veterans Association.
