The Biggest One-Day Rodeo in California
Thousands of rodeo fans are expected to fill the stands for the 61st Annual Glennville Rodeo Round-Up featuring top contestants from the PRCA and stock from Cotton Rosser's Flying U Rodeo Company.

The 61st Annual Glennville Rodeo will be held on June 14th, 2009; the gates open at 11:30 am and the Rodeo begins at 1:30 pm.  Rodeo fans are invited to join us for "COWBOY CHURCH" on Sunday at 9 am.  Our worship time will featuring gospel & bluegrass music, cowboy poetry and a special guest speaker. Cowboy Church-goers will then be invited to share breakfast with us before heading up to HWY 155 for the RODEO ROUND-UP PARADE, which begins at 11 am. Our little parade will feature the 2009 Miss Glennville Rodeo Queen Contestants, community entries, floats, and will honor those in our community who have battled breast cancer as we show the world that Glennville Rodeo Round-Up is Tough Enough to Wear Pink!

The rodeo grounds will open at 11:30 am and rodeo fans will find food, drinks and fun for the whole family. Feast on BBQ beef sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs, tri-tip and salads. Proceeds benefit the Greenhorn Mountain Veterans Association. We will also have a variety of vendors on the grounds; so come early and shop!

THE GLENNVILLE RODEO IS NOW PART OF THE HEARTLAND 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 HEARTLAND PRORODEO SERIES earn points to qualify them for the HEARTLAND 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 Heartland ProRodeo even in 2008, the GLENNVILLE RODEO received double the entries in almost every event. This year, we again anticipate having an additional two hours of "slack" following the official PRCA Rodeo event -- and you are all invited to stay and watch!

The Glennville Rodeo is just the finale to a busy three day event. The cowboy fun actually begins on Thursday, June 11th at 3 PM as our Queen Contestants show off their horsemanship skills in the arena. On Friday, June 12th, sign-ups begin at 8 am for the team roping where the top ropers in the nation will compete to win a beautiful new horse trailer and thousands of dollars in prize money.  On Saturday, June 13th, sign-ups begin at 8 am, and the jackpot roping starts at 9 am, for the Glennville Roping.  Team ropers from far and wide will compete for hundreds of dollars in prize money as well as saddles, buckles and other prizes.  The RODEO DANCE starts at 8 PM, featuring the vocal & musical talents of the SIERRA STORM band. Dance proceeds will be going directly to Links for Life, a Breast Cancer Support group located in Bakersfield. This wonderful organization provides free mammograms for ladies under 40, wigs, hats & scarves for ladies receiving chemotherapy treatment, support groups, and an extensive medical library to help those looking for information. Come dance the night away and support a great cause.
