Group to offer ranch rodeo

The Ridge Riders’ second Ranch Rodeo of the season gets underway Saturday, Sept. 22, officials said last week.

The Saturday event opens at the Rodeo Grounds at 2 p.m., with cowboy activity beginning at 3 p.m.

Vice President Monty Fields said the beer garden and other concessions will be open at 2 p.m.

The event, which featured a bull riding segment at the last ranch rodeo, will not do so this time.

Fields said that tickets will be on sale at the gate for $6 each, with children 10 and younger free.

Ranch rodeos feature four events - bronc riding, team branding, team mugging and trailer loading.
