Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
The rodeo is coming to the Kosciusko County Fairgrounds June 30 and July 1 at 7 p.m.
The region's top cowboys and cowgirls, members of the International Professional Rodeo Association, will present bareback bronc riding, bull riding, cowgirl barrel racing, calf roping, steer wrestling, team roping and saddle bronc riding.
Rodeo clown Kenny Schappacher will set up a donkey race with local folks.
The rodeo will be at the grandstand, according to Trish Marshall of the Kosciusko County Fair Board.
