It is Ingomar Rodeo season, and the town is getting ready to welcome contestants and attendees for its Saturday, July 30th, annual, small town rodeo extravaganza.
“Well, I don’t know if we would call it an extravaganza exactly,” said Donald John Cameron, president of the Ingomar Rodeo Committee, “but we sure have some excellent events, riders, and food.”
Added money this year totals $3500. Newman Rodeo and Paul Eiker are bringing their stock. You will see cowpokes match their skills with bucking horses and bulls, team ropers battling the clock, cowgirls racing the barrels, and get to chow down on some of the best polish hotdogs and juicy burgers you ever tasted, available at the cook shack. This year there will also be Ranch Rodeo style Bronc Riding.
“It is a family event,” added Cameron, “The town will be out there in full force welcoming everybody.”
Kids will have their chance at special events as well. As always, the Jersey Lilly is providing an outdoors barbecue and a street dance after the event.
Paul Lansaw plans to come all the way from the Mojave Desert to attend his third annual Ingomar rodeo. “Lookin’ forward to it. Good events – good people – good food,” said Lansaw.
The announcer will be the crowd pleasing, former world champion bareback bronc rider Deb Greenough. Ingomar is an open rodeo. Call Alice at 406-358-2255 to find out more about entering. Come on down.
