COWBOYS TO VIE FOR $360,000 IN PRIZE MONEY
IN ALL NEW "INVITATIONAL EVENT"
The 62nd annual Cloverdale Rodeo will now be the second richest Pro Rodeo in the country. The Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association are pleased to announce that the 2008 Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair will feature a brand new "invitational" rodeo format which will showcase the top cowboys and cowgirls in the world.
This new format marks the most significant change in the history of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair - with organizers anticipating even more exciting action and entertainment in the rodeo arena. Each rodeo contestant will compete twice and the combined total score/time will determine the top eight contestants for the Finals on Monday.
The top 24 cowboys in the Bull Riding, Saddle Bronc and Bareback events, as well as the top 24 Ladies Barrel Racers, based on the 2007 Final World Standings, will be invited to compete at Cloverdale. The world's number one ranked bareback rider, Bobby Mote of Culver, Oregon will be on the slate at the 2008 Cloverdale Rodeo as well as world #11 ranked and nine-time National Finals Rodeo barrel racing contestant Molly Powell.
Cowboy Church Service
Sunday May 18th
10:00 am Stetson Suite with Rev. Coy Huffman
The Reverend Coy Huffman, a tough-as-lumber looking cowboy who may have actually stepped from the pages of a Louis L’Amour novel, will begin his sermon, one of the inspirational sort, with a prayer of thanks. Less devout riders on horseback will form a wild west background as they meander around the ring.
Cowboy Church is a nondenominational service open to all. It will be held at the Stetson Suite at the Cloverdale Rodeo Fairgrounds.
