While Barrel Racing has been a yearly event at the Los Angeles County Fair, a complete Rodeo hasn’t been held since the 1970’s. The 2010 edition of the Fair saw the return of not only rodeo but a full range of western activities in it’s featured Western Days and Rodeo Nights. Organized by Annee Capelle of Heavens Ranch it returned to the Fair something that has been missing for far to long and will, hopefully, become an annual event. While technically this was an amateur rodeo, the only difference from a professional rodeo is the amount of prize money available. The level and ability of the competitors and the livestock may also differ to some degree. At an amateur rodeo you will find people just graduated from high school all the way up to National Finals rodeo competitors such as barrel racer Linda Vick. One other differences at this rodeo was the substitution of Ranch Saddle Bronc Riding for the usual Saddle bronc Riding competition. The Fair rodeo provided a level of excitement equal to many larger, more well known events and the Fair, the organizers and sponsors should be commended for putting on a crowd pleasing program.
