Local kids invited to free rodeo

Every year, a special private performance for kids is held on the Thursday preceding the Industry Hills Pro Rodeo. This year's Community Kids Day on Thursday, Oct. 10, will welcome 5,000 students in grades 3-5 from 12 local school districts.

Before the event, the students study special booklets about the history of the West as well as rodeos.

A Rodeo Dance will be held on Saturday, Oct. 11, at 8 p.m., immediately following the Rodeo. Tickets are $5 per person. Music will be provided by Raining Horseshoes. Music and dancing will continue until midnight.
