Poway Rodeo is Friday, Saturday BY STEVE DREYER The 41st annual Poway Rodeo will be held Friday and Saturday at the Poway Valley Riders Association grounds on Tierra Bonita Road. Cowboys from across the country, including a number of high-ranking competitors, will try their luck at the seven events to be offered. There will be three rodeo performances, at 7:30 p.m. Friday and at 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Tickets are on sale at www.powayrodeo.com or can be purchased at the gate. Onsite parking is $5. Among those expected to compete is Trevor Brazile, who has won more allaround cowboy championship buckles (10) than any other rodeo cowboy. He also holds the single-season earnings record, $507,921, a mark he reached in 2010. Brazile, from Decatur, Texas, is well in the lead to his 11th all-around title. He has signed up to compete in the
team roping competition in Poway on Saturday afternoon. His wife, Shada, has signed up for the Saturday night barrel racing event. Other top-rated cowboys have also signed up, according to rodeo organizers. Some will be participating in the 10 a.m. Friday “slack” session, which is free to the public. Whatever times are posted there will be good for the Poway Rodeo, allowing cowboys to participate in more than one rodeo over See RODEO, Page A26
The Old Poway Park Farmers Market will move onto Midland Road starting Saturday. New hours are 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Vehicle traffic will be rerouted between Adrian and Edgemoor streets.

City Council members on Tuesday night are expected to reaffirm a decision in June not to widen a portion of Espola Road and to review several options for upgrading the appearance of the roadway. Councilmemembers are also scheduled to hear a proposal from the county librarian on plans to renovate the 15-year-old Poway branch library. Whether Espola Road should be widened between Twin Peaks Road and Titan Way was the subject of a crowded town hall meeting held on June 4. The council decided at that time not to widen the roadway to include a continuous middle turn lane. An Environmental Impact Report which included the widening was approved, but councilmembers made it clear that the roadway should remain in its current configuration. On Tuesday night the council will be asked to adopt a resolution confirming it does not want to widen the road. See ESPOLA, Page A26
