#10 - Livermore Junior Rodeo Queen for 2013 - Morgan Laughlin
Riding next is the Livermore Jr. Rodeo Queen, Morgan Laughlin.
Morgan invites you to the 54th Annual Livermore Junior Rodeo next Saturday, June
15th. It is a whole day dedicated to the next generation of cowboys and
cowgirls. Contestants range from the age of 1-5 years old and can really give
the cowboys a “run for their money” in the Pee Wee Program.
There are also Junior and Senior events including the speed of barrel racing,
and the excitement of steer riding. And there's family team roping where mom or
dad participates with their children.
In fact, they put the “BUCK” back in rodeo by including bronc riding, and of
course everyone enjoys the mutton-busting.
See you next Saturday June 15, at the Livermore Junior Rodeo in Robertson Park.
