They have the top athletes from the Professional Cowboys Association with 100’s of cowboys and cowgirls coming out.

What you're going to be able to see is you're going to see some bareback riding, some saddle bronc riding, some timed events of our roping. Of course, the bulls. We did bring in breakaway roping this time," said rodeo chairman Lefty Leifeste.

There will be vendors with food and drinks to enjoy. Drinks are card only. There will also be a rodeo parade Saturday morning at 9 A.M. That kicks off on Orange Avenue and 5th street heading to Main Street in Downtown Yuma.

“Many may know our route got cut drastically short this year, and that's because our numbers have been down, so please come out and support our rodeo because we're trying to get our full route back next year," said 2nd vice rodeo chairman Don Jacobs.
