Clayton Rodeo
July 22nd & 23rd
Spring is officially here and we are gearing up for another fabulous rodeo this summer. We are currently accepting sponsors for the rodeo and are working on getting our new website online to accommodate registration to compete.
If you like rodeo and want to help out, we need some help on May 21st to prepare the grounds and --- assemble new bleachers!! That's right through a grant, the fairgrounds is getting some new bleachers for the arena area. Our volunteers for the fair and rodeo are working together on Saturday May 21st to complete the fairgrounds clean up and install those new bleachers. We cannot wait to see everyone at the rodeo in July, new lights, new seats and as always a ton of family fun.

The Road to Summer Fun
Is paved with hard work and elbow grease. As an all volunteer organization, we need some helping hands to get the fairgrounds ready for all the fun this summer. On Saturday May 21st at 9 AM we will meet up at the fairgrounds - please park in the main parking lot.
Our grounds crew will be assessing all the tasks we need to complete now that the snow is gone and once the mud dries up a bit. Typically, we have flower beds to weed and mulch to look their best, some painting/staining projects, cleaning up the barns from the winter so they can be used for weddings and other events on the grounds, hauling stuff, pulling weeds and this year - bleachers some will be moved, some will be assembled.
If you or your group are available, come on out with your gloves, gardening tools if you have them and something to drink. Depending upon how many people show up and the list of things that need to be prepped for a summer of fun will determine how long the day is.
