Patriotism reigns at 36th Annual Ramona Rodeo

Share

Ramona’s 36th annual rodeo drew the cowboys and the crowds, who enjoyed an American tradition with pleasant weather and lots of patriotism.

“America the Beautiful” was this year’s theme and there was plenty of red, white and blue, as well as recognition of those who have served in the military, and presentation of the colors by Miramar Young Marines.

The rodeo featured 251 contestants in the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association events of bareback riding, saddle bronc, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping and barrel racing May 19 to 22. Total payoff was $62,240.20, about the same as last year’s rodeo. Ramona Outdoor Community Center contributed $4,250 to each purse.

Also featured were junior barrel races and Mutton Bustin’, won this year by Jira Joy Kissel of Genoa, Colo., who was the only youngster to stay on her sheep all the way across the arena to break the event record.
