The opening night of the 149th Silver Spurs Rodeo brought great crowds and some of the best professional rodeo action East of the Mississippi!
After kickin’ off the night with crowd favorite Pee Wee Quadrille, the newly crowned Miss Silver Spurs and her court were introduced to rodeo fans who had come to enjoy the SSR June rodeo.
From there it was on to some serious rodeo action. Here are the results from Friday night, and remember, tonight’s Silver Spurs Rodeo hits the dirt at 7:30pm.
