Let's ride • Clearwater's 53rd annual rodeo will move to July 10 through 12 this year.
Saddle up, cowboys and cowgirls.
Clearwater’s Big Rodeo, 53rd edition, is loading in the chute, ready to ride.
Clearwater Chamber of Commerce members unanimously approved to move the organization’s annual rodeo to July 10 through 12.
Hollenbeck Rodeo, who supplies stock for the Clearwater event, did not have a rodeo scheduled for the July dates.
Chamber president Curt Thiele said he had been in contact with North Central District Health Department personnel regarding new directed health measures, which went into effect, June 1 and was told to submit a plan explaining how the organization will follow the DHMs.
Per state regulations, rodeo events are treated as gatherings. Excluding staff, 25% of rated occupancy, not to exceed 3,000 individuals, will be allowed.
At this time, no street dance or concert will be held, per DHMs.
Pre-sale tickets will not be available for 2020. Instead, children and adult tickets will be $5 at the gate.
Youths, ages six and under, will still be admitted free.
