Youth rodeo Wednesday, July 12 will kick off the 61st annual Marble Falls Rodeo, with events continuing through Saturday night, July 15, at the Charley Taylor Rodeo Arena.
Admission is free for the first two nights, so fans can whet their rodeo appetites on pole bending and barrel racing and other sports for youngsters from four counties at the Marble Falls Youth Rodeo Friday and move on to enjoy the slack night events like steer saddling, team roping, tie-down roping and breakaway roping heats on Thursday night.
“We always try to make sure the rodeo goes exactly two hours,” said Marble Falls Rodeo Publicity Chairman Mike Dyer. “Overflow goes to the slack rodeo.”
