The 61st Annual Glennville Rodeo Round-Up goes Tough Enough to Wear Pink!
The Biggest One-Day Rodeo in the Nation!
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.

HWY 155 for the RODEO ROUND-UP PARADE, which begins at 11 am. Our
little parade will feature the 2009 Miss Glennville Rodeo Queen

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
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. UPDATE:
The GMVA was able to present a check for $2570 to Links For Life! Thank
you Cowboys and Cowgirls for your support of our Tough Enough to Wear
Pink Events!
