Kids invited to Weston County Youth Mini Rodeo

Just over a month ago, a group of rodeo-minded Weston County residents met and decided someone needed to put together a fun activity for the kids and community to enjoy at the Weston County Fair at no cost to spectators or participants.

That group included a banker, bull contractor, rodeo clown, refinery worker, county equipment operator and several Weston County ranchers. From that meeting the Weston County Mini Roughstock Rodeo Association was born to produce the first annual Weston County Youth Mini Rodeo July 27, 6:30 p.m. at the Weston County Fair in Newcastle.

Any and all kids five to 18 are invited to enter and participate in mutton busting, mini bareback and bull riding, mini wild horse race and high school bareback and bull riding.
