There will be many exciting features
this year that will make this an event you won’t want to miss! Throughout the weekend rodeo organizers are raising
awareness and funding for two very important local charities, the Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage
Village and the Windsor-Essex Therapeutic Riding Association.
The Town of Essex has recognized the
significant economic, social and environmental impact this will have on our
community and has designated this as an “Event
of Municipal Significance”.
The Rock N Rodeo is proud to be the first stop of the ’2012 NEW HOLLAND PRO-RODEO SERIES’ produced by A BAR K Rodeo Productions. This is the ONLY rodeo in Essex County that is approved and co-sanctioned by the IPRA (International Professional Rodeo Association) and the ORA (Ontario Rodeo Association).
Live country music will be featured each night, including one of Canada’s hottest country artists, ‘Dean Brody’! Watch and meet the ‘Canadian Cowgirls Precision Drill Team’ and Daniel Fathers, host of ‘Canada’s Greatest Know It All’, ‘Heartland’ (Stewart Forest), ‘Camp Rock’ (Brown Cessario) and competitive bull rider. Witness the speed of some of the fastest horses in North America as they compete in the co-sanctioned OBRA and NBHA Barrel Racing events all weekend.
The kids will love the pony rides, petting zoo, face painting and the Carter Carnival Mini-Midway. Take a ride in the RE/MAX hot air balloon or tour Heritage Village on a horse drawn wagon. Check out the pick-up truck and tractor displays featuring models from the past and present and be sure to take a tour inside the Canadian Transportation Museum. Climb on the mechanical bull, learn some line dancing, watch the Bull & Barrel Rock N Rodeo Queen Contest or visit friends in the beer tent! Shop in the Vendor Village, featuring local shops, eats and more!
