IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) – Idaho’s oldest rodeo, The War Bonnet Round Up, celebrates its 111th year of rodeo Wednesday night with a free Kickoff Rodeo at Sandy Downs.
To kick off the rodeo weekend, the War Bonnet Round Up hosts the free event from 4:30pm to 8:30pm with games and some rodeo action.
In this Kickoff rodeo, pre-qualifiers for the Mutton Bustin’ event will compete for the rodeo title.
There will be activities for children including pony rides, mini bulls, bounce houses, a lamb scramble and cash cow.
There will also be food vendors and a mechanical bull for family fun.
Last year, they say it was a huge success and a great way to build excitement for the coming days.
The professional rodeo will begin on August 4 and the gates will open at 4:30 p.m.
