A pro rodeo event heading to Manti this Memorial Day Weekend will be fun for all, and even better for the men and women who protect and keep Utah safe.
"It’s an adrenaline rush, there’s no doubt about it. I mean it’s exciting," said John Larson."There’s nothing more exciting than climbing down on one of them," he said."And then the adrenaline you’re going to get when you get back to the chutes, and it’s all over and you know you’re still alive.Larson and his brother, Mark, along with fellow organizer, Rep. Steve Lund, spoke about why the"Take the Oath" rodeo Sanpete County Fairgrounds Tuesday is so important.
That’s how it all started, with its first event last year bringing the PRCA to the rural area and raising tens of thousands of dollars, with much of that going to local first responders. "People need to know that those who take the oath need to be appreciated and we appreciate them," said Lund. In all, 40 cowboys will be participating in the rodeo, including world champions and those who've taken part in the National Finals Rodeo."We’ll have two bulls in this event," said."Two of our bulls will be here. One is pretty well known: a top bull in the PRCA, been on the circuit a couple years. His name is Red Avalanche.
Along with the events in the ring, rodeo clowns and games for the kids will make it a family friendly event honoring those who take the oath.
