Helsley says the rodeo will be held Thursday and Friday nights. Rodeo admission is $7 for adults, $5 for seniors, and $4 for kids age 12 and under. She says the market animal sale will be Saturday morning at eleven o'clock.

Helsley says, "Friday night we'll have the ranch rodeo, that ought to be a really big night. We've got a lot of contestants, it should be a lot of fun."
