Rodeo to include big-screen replays

The 62nd annual Colorama Pro-West Rodeo is ready to go, Ridge Rider president George Kohout said this week.

The rodeo will play out over two days, May 11 and 12, beginning at 6 p.m. Friday night and then at 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Ridge Riders rodeo grounds in Delano.

New this year will be a large replay screen. It was scheduled last year at the Cleatis Lacy Memorial Bull Ride, but failed to work. Spectators will get to see replays of some of the outstanding performances on the big screen.

“This year we have a backup screen, just in case something happens,” Kohout said.

Advance tickets are now on sale at Loepps Furniture, for $2 off regular prices. Pre-sale prices are $10 for adults and $8 for kids 10-18 years of age.

On the days of the rodeo, prices go to $12 and $10.
