Junior Josie Solon, who attended the rodeo for the first time last year, said her experience was fun and she is looking forward to barrel racing.

“It was fun. It was different. I haven’t been to one before, so it was fun to watch what they do,” said Solon. “Watching the barrel races was fun too, so I am looking forward to that.”

Junior Sawyer Lorenz, former Echoes reporter, who has been to the rodeo multiple times, said he liked experiencing bull riding.

“There were these guys on horses and bulls, some got thrown, others just rode the horses around,” said Lorenz. “Some of them were good, some of them were bad. Some got thrown, some stayed on.”

Junior Patrick Cook has been to a handful of rodeos in the past and describes the atmosphere as one of his favorite spots.

“I definitely plan on going again this year, I’m looking forward to the atmosphere and being at one of my favorite spots,” said Cook.

The 2026 PRCA rodeo is anticipated. Everyone is looking forward to their favorite event and seeing their favorite people perform. It’s a great show, a good atmosphere, and nonetheless everyone can look forward to seeing the clown.
