Camas County Rodeo July 12th & 13th
The town of Fairfield will be full of Cowboy Athletes this weekend competing in Camas County’s 5th annual ImPRA/ICA Rodeo. According to the event coordinators, 250 contestants have already signed up for a full slate of rodeo events. Rodeo stars in training will want to participate in the Friday night Mutton-Busting event. It’s just as fast as the big boys, but not as far to fall. Make sure to call Ann Peterson at 539-3565 to sign up your youngster. Also, you won’t want to miss the Hometown Bull Riding. Local cowboys will compete for a first place buckle (for amateurs not required to be ICA members). Call 539-3565 to register. While the main events start at 6:00 p.m. each evening, there is plenty to do during the day. Your young sportsmen (and women) can visit the Kid’s Pond one mile east of Fairfield. It’s stocked by Idaho Fish & Game and open for fishing any time. Come on dad... it’s time to bond. On Saturday afternoon, noon to 6 p.m., the City of Fairfield will be hosting their First Annual Summer Kick Off in the City Park. There will be waterslides and food, all courtesy of the city. It will also be a great time to check out the new playground equipment recently installed by the city. To accommodate the large number of contestants, slack events will be held on Saturday starting a 10 a.m. These events count towards a cowboy’s point standing, and often include the top times and performances. There is no charge to watch slack. During the evening rodeo there will be a beer garden - “The Catch Pen.” - and after the rodeo, folks can walk across to the American Legion Ballfield for live music by Idaho musicians - Southern Rock, Country, and Classic Rock. Tickets for the rodeo are $8 for adult admissions, and kids under 8 years are free. The Camas County Chamber of Commerce encourages everyone to enjoy the events, and support our local businesses.
