Due to overwhelming interest by our skilled rodeo youth, the age to participate in the Cowhide Race has been lowered to 14. We have a strong contingent of skilled youth and know that this will help the Cowhide Race Event grow and allow our youth another event to showcase their skills. We look forward to an outstanding lineup in our upcoming rodeos.
The Carbondale Rodeo Committee is a not-for-profit, volunteer organization committed to keeping the Roaring Fork Valley’s western heritage alive by offering a fun family-oriented event for residents and visitors alike.
