2011 was another successful year for the California Rodeo and 2012 is already shaping up to be even better. There will be trick riders back on the track this July along with 2010 Rodeo Clown Slim Garner who is back by popular demand. The top cowboys and cowgirls will once again converge upon Salinas to compete for our coveted gold & silver buckle.

Rodeo

The California Rodeo’s new President, Benny Jefferson, has been involved with the Freestyle Bullfights that are the finale to the Rodeo’s daily shows for over 20 years. It is the privilege of the President to choose a theme for each year’s commemorative poster and long before his first year of service started, Benny knew the event he wanted to feature. More Info »
