The stage is set for the West Coast Berbice Rodeo at the Rising Sun Turf Club, Arima Park, West Coast Berbice, and it promises to be breathtaking, according to the organisers.
Cowboys from Brazil, Suriname, and Venezuela will be matching skills with their Guyanese counterparts from Lethem and the Rupununi Savannahs on Sunday (October 20). Cowboys from the West Coast of Berbice and Corentyne will also be on show.
The clowns will also be in action to light up the Rodeo with stunning displays to excite the crowd.
The Rodeo starts at noon with 12 events listed on the day’s programme. These include steer roping, bareback bronco, male and female barrel race, wild cow milking, calf roping, wild bull riding, saddle bronco, the Rodeo King competition and the popular Tug-of-War events.
According to organiser Fazal Habibulla, this year’s Rodeo will be bigger and better than last year. He said patrons will be treated to great entertainment that’s worth the price of admission.
So far several corporate entities have come on board to make the event a success, namely Banks DIH Limited, Jumbo Jet Auto Sales, Two Brothers Cattle Ranch, Jai Seegobin, Tajo Seocharran, Sunil Suruj, Abary Cattle Ranch, Rising Sun Cattle Ranch among others.
