Welcome to the exciting
world of pro-rodeo, “The Greatest Show on Dirt”. Do you
remember as a child growing up playing cowboys and Indians?
Of course, we all do. Envision a small child growing up in
today’s world watching world champions ride some of the best
bulls and horses that the rodeo world has to offer. How many
times do you think a child has wondered what it is really
like to be a cowboy or cowgirl? How many times do you think
will have the opportunity to fulfill their dream?
Well, at The First Frontier Circuit Finals Rodeo we can make
their dreams come true, if only for one night. Welcome to
the Exceptional Rodeo. Our dream is to offer to the children
of the Your Organization
a chance to meet cowboys and cowgirls. A chance to
learn about the sport of rodeo and be on the dirt to
experience what the life of rodeo is all about. But most of
all, to put a smile on their face and help make a dream come
true.
The Exceptional Rodeo will take place the afternoon before
the rodeo starts. It will consist of approximately 35 to 50
kids with Physical or Mental disabilities. The age range is
usually 5 to 15. These children are invited to the
exceptional rodeo through invitations mailed or phoned by
the Hershey Harrisburg Regional Visitors Bureau. Parents and
grandparents will be invited to come along to watch the
activity in the arena.
The children are given the opportunity to learn to rope the
dummy calves, climb in and out of the bull fighter’s barrel,
meet the clowns, bull fighters, cowboys, horse rides and
even get there picture atop of a real bull. On most
occasions, we will have television and radio, and newspaper
for the children to meet. The event will last one and a
half/two hours. This will take place in the Large Arena
without any charge to the children or their parents. It is
even free to the public.
The children taking part in the Exceptional Rodeo will
receive a cowboy hat, t-shirt, bandana, a autographed
poster, back number and a picture of them sitting on the
back of a bull, and the contestant that helps them go through
the different events. |
