Springville's Annual Rodeo -
Springville Sierra PRCA Rodeo Runs Apr.
23-25, 2010
If you've been in the city too long, you can
actually get away for a weekend of fun and
old-fashioned boot-kicking rodeo action.
Complete with beautiful beauty queens,
broncin' bulls (and bull riders), and a
festive downtown Rodeo Parade, Springville
is the place to kick up a little dust and
have some real fun.
Annual
P.R.C.A. Rodeo in the foothills of the
Sierra-Nevada mountains features
entertainment of a world class rodeo
combined with beauty queens, dances, cowboys
& cowgirls and a visual feast, as well as
great food sold.
Where is Springville? we asked ourselves. We found
it on a map of California, located in Tulare
County. It appears to be the Gateway to the
Sequoia National Forest and is set in the
Sierra Foothills of the mountains. Its
elevation is around 1,000 feet. Beautiful
and inspiring, it's the kind of place you
may want to visit in the spring when the
hillsides are dotted with wild flowers as
the winter cold dissipates to greet summer
blossoms.
Not everyone in the city is familiar with
the rodeo culture or why rodeos exist. In
Springville they explain this time honored
tradition of a rodeo celebration (over 60
years strong), as a tribute to Springville's
heritage as a farming and livestock region.
Today,
the rodeo remains a Western event celebrated
with finales in places such as huge arenas
in Las Vegas. The popularity has not
diminished within a particular culture that
lives and breathes the country. For your
city dwellers, Springville Rodeo is your
best opportunity to get out and see
California and the surrounding beauty of the
Sequoias.
