ABOUT THE RODEO

The annual Rodeo, hosted in the picturesque area of northern Dutchess County, is a family friendly event featuring Mutton Bustin’, Barrel Racing, Roping, Bronc Riding, and Bull Riding. Some of the best cowboys from the east will compete against western cowboys in a nationwide competition of top hands. Doors open at noon and the rodeo begins at 3 pm.  There will be a variety of local food trucks and libations for the adults as well as local vendors. Pre-rodeo activities include rodeo clowns, stick horse rodeo competition for young kids,  barrel racing demonstrations, rodeo roping clinic, animal care conversations, face-painting, meet and greet photo opportunities with cowboys and cowgirls, and music from local country music artists.
