Scottsdale Rodeo 2022
If you’ve never seen a rodeo, you’re in for a treat! It’s patriotic, with lots of skill and athleticism, of equestrians, horses and bovines. Broncos and bulls, plus calf ropin’ and ridin’ await, plus a concert, rodeo clowns and much more! Don’t like roping or bull riding? Vamoose for a bio break — go get you a Navajo taco, a Coke, and a cowboy or cowgirl (cowwomyn?)!
