What kind of activities are there for the kids?

Besides the fishing, we have a number of activities for the kids. Here are just a few:

Kids Zone - There is an entire section of the rodeo that is dedicated to the kids. This section is full of inflatables and other activities. It is open the entire time the pavilion is open.
Drowning Prevention Session - Each year we spend a little time and do an interactive class to teach the kids about the dangers of childhood drowning and how they can take measures to ensure their safety.
Riley's Treasure Chest - This is a cool place where kids can purchase all kinds of fund toys and gadgets.
DJ's, Bands, and lots of dancing for everyone!

Absolutely! Although we always pray for great weather, sometimes mother nature has other plans. The good news is that all the fun and exciting stuff happens under the pavilion so you have nothing to worry about!

Do I have to be present to win the Grand Prize?

Of course! We wouldn't be family friendly if we didn't! We have all types of food, candy, and both soft drinks and wonderful selection of alcohol for our family of attendees.
