Another great weekend for PRCA and WPRA California Circuit Rodeo! With a newly renovated arena, complete with new bucking chutes, Rodeo fans celebrated our Nation's Birthday with fireworks, motocross, mutton busting, sky diving, and of course, the best cowboys and cowgirls giving it their all! Thank you to the Committee, Sponsors, and all of the volunteers who worked very hard to bring rodeo at it's best to Folsom, California. Congratulations to "All Around Cowboy" Blake Hirdes (Team Roping and Tie-Down Roping).
