SISTERS, OR -- The Sisters Rodeo got started Wednesday with Extreme Bulls.
The 84th ‘Biggest Little Show in the World’ runs through Sunday.
Along with the performances, Rodeo President Scott Talerico tells KBND News many people look forward to the annual parade, “Saturday gets people in the mood. They come down, they bring their kids, flags are flying, wind’s blowing…and we're riding horses again this year as the directors, we got a pretty full parade coming down the pipe. It's going to be pretty exciting and it's a moment where people get to sit down, enjoy everything, really get their kids involved. That's what the kids love.”
The parade starts at 9:30 Saturday morning.
Thursday, there’s a special event at Black Butte Ranch. “Come out, meet Wayne Brooks, get to meet the Queen and maybe, just, maybe, JJ Harrison, the clown might be there as well,” says Rodeo Board Vice President Brian Witt. The picture and autograph session is at Black Butte Ranch from 4 to 5.
Talerico says the meet and greet and Saturday’s parade are designed to appeal to everyone. “We're trying at Sisters more to become more of a family… bring your kids to this, and just hit that market. Those kids deserve to have fun too.”
They’ve also restored the old Cloverdale fire station into the Red Rock Corral for those unable to get into the sold-out shows.
Some of the old grandstand chairs were repurposed and the room is lined with big-screen TVs. “We've got a 40-foot long live edge bar in there. It's become a really cool place for people to hang out. So, if you can't get your tickets, because yeah, we are sold out. You can go be there early, get standing room, only get a band and go enjoy that room,” says Talerico.
Performances run Friday night, Saturday afternoon and evening, and finish Sunday afternoon. Find the events schedule here.
