Little Britches Rodeo’s mission: Operation Gratitude
All military personnel, and their families, who present valid military
identification at the ticket gate during the 2006 National Little Britches
Finals Rodeo will be admitted FREE of charge to any rodeo performance. “It’s our
way to honor those who serve in the armed forces and for the families who
support them. I know it’s not much, but a night out with the family and comrades
to enjoy the great sport of rodeo is the least we can do for those who keep our
freedoms alive,” said NLBRA Executive Director, Kimber Solberg. “We appreciate
the sacrifices they have made, especially during wartime, and although it’s just
a small token it’s what we wanted to do to thank our troops and their families.”
The National Little Britches Rodeo Association will hold its National Finals
Rodeo at Colorado State Fairgrounds in Pueblo, CO on July 17 through July 22,
where more than 700 kids, ages 5-18, will compete for world championships in 27
events. A large bounty including saddles, buckles, and nearly $50,000 in college
scholarships is up for grabs.
Rodeo performances are held daily July 17-21 at 9 am and 6 pm. On July 22,
rodeo action begins at 8 am with the top 15 contestants in 27 events competing
in the championship-round competition, which inevitably determines NLBRA world
champions.
Again this year, the NLBRA Finals Rodeo is an affordable event for the entire
family. Adult tickets are $6 or $5 with a 2-can food donation to Care and Share;
Seniors and youth 9-18 are $4 or $3 with a 2-can food donation to Care and
Share; and tickets for children 8 and under are $1 or FREE with a 2-can donation
to Care and Share. Tickets are available at the rodeo gate or at <www.ticketmaster.com>
