Here's what's happening on our Facebook Page.
THE Alexandra Pro Rodeo will be back in town on Saturday, January 10, and for the first time this year, there will be Lady Ranch Bronc Riding.
Organiser Andrew Embling said, “This is a new event to rodeo in Victoria after Tup Forge from Oxley, Victoria, won the Lady's Ranch title the World Title over in the United States earlier in the year. We'll have about eight ladies riding and they'll all be going for a buckle.”
This year once again Alexandra Pro Rodeo is putting up a buckle for the winners.
Andrew added, “We'll have Terry Murray who is renowned rodeo announcer coming back from up at Casino. He'll be back down for our rodeo to entertain everybody. We'll have music, the gates will open at three o'clock, we'll have music at four o'clock with Paul Costa. He’ll entertain for around about 45 minutes and it'll be five o'clock, then right into rodeo action.”
As previously, Eddie Gill and Destiny Downs will be supplying all the livestock for the rodeo. The rodeo has plenty of entries coming in, so there will be plenty of action in all of the rodeo events.
There will also be a Steer Ride for locals. People keen to take part will need to get their entries in by January 6, but there is a limit of 12 people so get onto it quickly. A $250 buckle will up for grabs for the winner.
The rodeo will go through until about 9pm or 9.30pm, and then it will be straight to the music from Danny Phegan, through until midnight.
Tickets are available online at alexandrarodeo.com.au, through Try Booking or you can certainly purchase tickets right up until the rodeo from Embling Rural on Grant Street in Alexandra.
