The biggest One-Day Rodeo in California

Thousands of rodeo fans are expected to fill the stands for the 60th Annual Glennville Rodeo Round-Up featuring contestants from the PRCA and stock from Cotton Rosser's Flying U Rodeo Company.

The 60th Annual Glennville Rodeo will be held on June 8th, 2008 - the gates open at 12:30 PM and the rodeo begins at 1:30 PM. Rodeo fans are invited to join us for "Cowboy Church" at 9 AM, featuring bluegrass gospel music, cowboy poetry and worship! Cowboy Church-goers will then be invited to have breakfast following the service. At 11:00 the Round-Up Parade begins its journey through the little town of Glennville.

Rodeo fans will then have the opportunity to feast on a great barbecue beginning at 11:30 AM in the GMVA park and Wrangler hat stickers will be given to the first 200 kids through the gates of the rodeo.

The Glennville Rodeo is now part of the Heartland ProRodeo Series, an ambitious new project for the PRCA.  Cowboys and Cowgirls who compete in the Heartland ProRodeo Series could qualify to compete in the Heartland ProRodeo Series Campionships in Waco, Texas, scheduled for November 3-11, 2008.

Our speciality act this year is a trick roper Tomas Garcilazo with "La Charreria", the 2007 Speciality Act of the Year for the PRCA.  Tomas has performed at the White House with the Broadway Musical Will Rogers Follies, has worked with Linda Ronstandt, Keith Carridine and Mac Davis.  Tomas is a premier Mexican Trick Roper who will enter the crowds at the Glennville Rodeo Round-Up!

The 60th Annual Glennville Rodeo is more than just a one-day event. The celebration begins on  Thursday, June 5th as our Queen Contestants show off their Horsemanship Skills before our expert judges at 3 PM in the arena.  On Friday, June 6th the excitement builds as top team ropers from all over the US  rope to win a brand new GMC pick-up or a jackpot prize of thousands of dollars. Saturday, June 7th, the fun begins at 8 AM with another jackpot roping featuring  all our favorite local ropers.  The Queen Contestants will hold their own special Barbeque for Sponsors and friends at 11:30 am.
