Spooner Rodeo's Exceptional Rodeo
SPECIAL FUN FOR SPECIAL KIDS
No one has more fun at the Heart of the
North Rodeo than the kids who take part in Spooner's Exceptional Rodeo.
That's why Spooner Rodeo Committee is proud to present this special event
for kids with special needs as the kick-off of Rodeo Weekend. The
Exceptional Rodeo is set for 6:30 p.m., just before the regular Thursday
night Rodeo performance. Come early to cheer on these special kids and
their pro rodeo partners who'll assist them in the goat relay, roping
dummy steers, eight-second rides on hand-rocked bulls and bareback horses,
specially-designed steer wrestling, and a flag race on walking horses.
Just imagine the thrill of it all for the kids who take part.
Exceptional Rodeo has been so popular
here in Spooner that, even though the national program was discontinued
years ago, local rodeo committee members have chosen to keep it going here
under their own leadership. Each child who participates takes home a
cowboy hat, a cowboy bandanna, and a T-shirt, as well as a lot fond
memories of fun, smiles, hugs and your applause.
The 45-minute performance will be
announced by Kelly Kenney, the official rodeo announcer. After every child
has a turn to take part, each will receive individual recognition, a
trophy and an autographed picture of himself or herself with a rodeo
partner.
For more information about competing in
Exceptional Rodeo, contact Sue Krantz at 715/469-3396.
