On Friday, Dani Santana, 19, took a seat at Water Gun Fun, shooting a stream of water at a target that propelled a plastic rabbit to the booth’s ceiling. She laid out 24 tickets — about $12 — and won on her second attempt. The teen pointed at a velvet blobfish with exaggerated pink lips.Clutching her new companion, Santana said was glad she succeeded early in the night.

Organizers began ordering this year’s prizes from Chinese and American distributors about 10 months ago to avoid supply chain hold-ups, said Chris Lopez, vice president of RCS Fun, the company that puts on the rodeo.
