The Carbondale Wild West Rodeo Association is discontinuing the rodeo royalty program. All tryouts that may have been scheduled are cancelled!
In it’s place we will be offering scholarships to our contestants and volunteers who are enrolling or enrolled in college or a trade school. There will be an application process and we will keep you posted on how to apply for the scholarships as we work out the details. Stay tuned…more information to follow.
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.
