isitors to the upcoming Statesboro Kiwanis Rodeo may get a chance to win a brand new car. This year’s “Boot in the Barrel” rodeo contest is expected to bring an added element of excitement to the popular annual event, said rodeo cochairman Don Poe. Interested persons can visit Anderson’s General Store (where rodeo tickets currently are available), Franklin Chevrolet or Franklin Toyota to enter the contest, he said. People can enter once daily at all three locations, adding up to a possible three entries per day. No purchase is required. The Statesboro Kiwanis Rodeo will be held Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18, at the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fairgrounds on Highway 67. Drawings will be held, and three people will be selected to participate in the contest each night. Two will receive gift cards worth $100, but one lucky person will have the chance to win a car, Poe said. It’s no easy feat, however. The winning candidate will have to toss a boot 45 feet away into a waiting barrel. If they land the boot in the barrel, they win a car of their choice, valued up to $20,000, he said. If someone wins the car Friday, the drawing on Saturday will be only for gift cards, Poe said. People selected to win either the gift cards or an opportunity to win the car will need to be at the rodeo by 7 p.m. the night they are to participate
Holli Deal Saxon and locate Fry Daddy, a colorful rodeo clown also known as Poe, to be eligible. Winners will be notified beforehand that they will be involved in the contest, he said. Advance tickets for the rodeo are $14 for adults and $9 for children. Tickets also will be sold at the gates each night of the rodeo and will be $15 for adults and $10 for children. The rodeo begins each night at 7 p.m., but gates open at 5 p.m. to give visitors time to enjoy vendors and children’s attractions and meet and greet contestants as well as Miss Rodeo USA Kirbi Allen from Arkansas, who also will make appearances in Statesboro before and during the rodeo. Hedrick Rodeo Company will bring new stock; a new trick rider, Marshall Greene; and a new clown, Roy Kozak. There will be arena games and both local and professional contestants from across the nation competing in events such as barrel racing, steer wrestling, bull riding and team roping. Greene holds world records in rope tricks from horseback. Food vendors will bring funnel cakes, barbecue sandwiches, CocaCola products, hamburgers and other favorites. Other vendors will sell leather goods, T-shirts and belts, and there will be a jump house for kids, Poe said.
