Northeast Texas Community College will host its annual Kids? Rodeo on Wednesday, April 18 at noon at the 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ Rodeo Area. In addition, The 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ 91¿´Æ¬ †Rodeo Team and Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) will sponsor the third annual 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ 91¿´Æ¬ †Handicapped Rodeo at 10 a.m. on the same day.
?The annual Kids? Rodeo and Handicapped Rodeo is something our team looks always looks forward to. They get a chance to share the sport of rodeo with kids who might not get the chance to enjoy it otherwise,? 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ 91¿´Æ¬ †Rodeo Coach, CJ Mohl, said.
Each spring, elementary schools from around the area bus their kindergarten through second grade students to 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ 91¿´Æ¬ †to watch an exhibition rodeo performed by the 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ 91¿´Æ¬ †Rodeo Team. Thousands of local school children have attended these events throughout the years.
The Handicapped Rodeo began in 2010 and has become a tradition that offers fun opportunities for even more students.
The event consists of a stick horse barrel race, a mechanical bull (fully-supervised), a roping dummy, ponies and more.
"The Handicapped rodeo has been a very popular event for our local special needs children. Everyone that has been involved 91¿´Æ¬ †with this event has been blessed to be able to 91¿´Æ¬ †participate 91¿´Æ¬ †in some way and our 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ 91¿´Æ¬ †Rodeo students are amazing with the children,? Joy Cooper, 91¿´Æ¬ †SIFE 91¿´Æ¬ †advisor, said.
Hot dogs and drinks will be served at 11 a.m. to participants of the Handicapped Rodeo. 91¿´Æ¬ †Anyone who is interested in participating should RSVP with Cooper at 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †or 903-434-8225.
