1. Update on 56th Annual Meeker Parade and Rodeo Sponsored by the Meeker Roundup Club
A. The parade will be held Saturday, June 26th @ 10:30 am. Six classes will be judged this year with a couple of new classes added one of them being a Feed Truck and a Tractor Class. Best of Show, Best Float, Best 4 Footed and others will participate in the parade.
B. Make plans to attend 2 days at the Rodeo this year. Friday, June 25th and Saturday, June 26th. Come enjoy Sweethearts of the Rodeo and all the action. Cowboy and Cowgirl events slated for this year’s event.
One of the favorite events is Mutton Bustin. This event always gets all the spectators on their feet and yelling for their favorite youngster. It doesn’t get much cuter than seeing a little girl or boy wearing their western hats and all the apparel Mom and Dad has dressed them up with. Gotta love those little bitty boots, and scarves they wear. So come on out to the Meeker Arena East of Town and have 2 nights of great fun.
