 Due to the major downtown San Dimas renovation project, the Western Days activities are taking the year off. The
project will be under construction in October and will make it
impractical to conduct the parade and portions of the street fair, which
are the cornerstone activities of the event. However,
if you are still looking for something to do on the first weekend in
October, have no fear, the 22nd Annual San Dimas Rodeo will still be
held Oct. 1 and 2 at the Tex Shoemaker Arena in Horsethief Canyon Park. Grab
your cowboy hat and get ready to have a great time at this Professional
Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) event. Gates open for the Rodeo at 11
a.m. both days for shopping and tasty fair food with pre-rodeo events
starting at 1 pm and the rodeo beginning at 2 pm.
Rodeo tickets can
be purchased at www. sandimasrodeo.com. There will be plenty of tickets
on sale prior to each Rodeo performance at the arena. Free round trip shuttle transportation will be available from downtown San Dimas to the rodeo. The
pre-rodeo event on Sunday is the Annual San Dimas Challenged Buckaroos
Rodeo beginning at 12:45 pm. The Buckaroos Rodeo features specialneeds
children ages 3 to 12 from San Dimas and neighboring communities who
will be partnered up with world-class rodeo cowboys and cowgirls. If you know of any child who would like to participate please contact Bob Hardcastle at info@sandimasrodeo.com with Subject: CBR. Submitted by City of San Dimas
