Rodeo

As most of you know, The Circle C Rodeo took place at the North Iowa Events Center Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27. The following Rockford residents participated in barrel racing: Jessica Biggs, Brittany Volk, Sara Shook, and Ally Swanson. There was even one bull rider from Rockford, but when you look at her you would never expect her to be bull riding. Ally Swanson was one of the three women in the women division of bull riding. Although she didn't make it the full 6 seconds she was still being cheered on by the crowd.  The only girl that made it the full 6 seconds was a women that just came back from her deployment in Afghanistan. Along with the bull riding and barrel racing, there was also mutton busting and wild horse. You never know how dangerous these events really are until you see someone get hurt. During the wild horse, one man was trampled by the horses and was taking to Mercy. No word on how he is doing. "Watching everyone in the rodeo was very exciting to watch." -Wyatt Portis, Junior at RRMR
