Silver Spur Rodeo hosts first horseshoe tournament

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Silver Spur Rodeo hosted its inaugural horseshoe tournament on Saturday.

The tournament took place at the Silver Spur Rodeo Clubhouse on County 14th Street, where dozens gathered for the friendly competition.

Joshua Martin, the Chairman of the Yuma Silver Spur Rodeo, says that the tournament attracted people from Los Angeles, San Diego and Phoenix, in addition to local competitors.

"We're out here playing horseshoes, trying to show the community that we not only do the rodeo, we also give to the community and help out other people and put on events like this to help the community," Martin added.

Martin also says some of the proceeds will go toward helping out Mary Otondo Elementary School and their special education department.
