The following is an excerpt from the Press Enterprise Newspaper (writer Sandra Stokley) about the Jurupa Valley Pro Rodeo:
"...Just in time for the city’s fifth birthday, Jurupa Valley on Friday and Saturday will welcome back one of its signature events, the Jurupa Valley Pro Rodeo, after an eight-year hiatus.
Rodeo veteran Laura Bakewell announced last summer that she planned to revive the event, which fell victim in 2009 to the Great Recession.
Last week, the Rick Thompson Arena – the rodeo’s historic venue – was a hub of activity as vendors delivered bleachers, livestock corrals, bucking chutes and other structures while volunteers picked up trash and prepared the arena surface.
“The community missed the rodeo,” Bakewell said. “It was a time when we would get together and work as a team. It brought us all together.”
Bob Laurence is co-organizer. Although he lives in Bellflower, Laurence is a rodeo fan and has been involved with rodeos in Lake Elsinore, Norco, Temecula and Hesperia. He also worked on the Jurupa Community Rodeo in years past."
