草榴社区 will host its annual Kids? Rodeo on Wednesday, April 18 at noon at the鈥燦TCC Rodeo Area. In addition, The鈥燦TCC鈥燫odeo Team and Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) will sponsor the third annual鈥燦TCC鈥燞andicapped Rodeo at 10 a.m. on the same day.

?The annual Kids? Rodeo and Handicapped Rodeo is something our team looks always looks forward to. They get a chance to share the sport of rodeo with kids who might not get the chance to enjoy it otherwise,?鈥燦TCC鈥燫odeo Coach, CJ Mohl, said.

Each spring, elementary schools from around the area bus their kindergarten through second grade students to鈥燦TCC鈥爐o watch an exhibition rodeo performed by the鈥燦TCC鈥燫odeo Team. Thousands of local school children have attended these events throughout the years.

The Handicapped Rodeo began in 2010 and has become a tradition that offers fun opportunities for even more students.
The event consists of a stick horse barrel race, a mechanical bull (fully-supervised), a roping dummy, ponies and more.

"The Handicapped rodeo has been a very popular event for our local special needs children. Everyone that has been involved鈥爓ith this event has been blessed to be able to鈥爌articipate鈥爄n some way and our鈥燦TCC鈥燫odeo students are amazing with the children,? Joy Cooper,鈥燬IFE鈥燼dvisor, said.

Hot dogs and drinks will be served at 11 a.m. to participants of the Handicapped Rodeo. 鈥燗nyone who is interested in participating should RSVP with Cooper at鈥犫爋r 903-434-8225.
