Press Release

The California Rodeo Salinas provides entertainment for all ages as it celebrates its 105^th anniversary this year. Hard-riding rodeo and specialty acts are sure to please the whole family. This year, Cowboy Kenny’s Steel Rodeo returns with death-defying motorcycle stunts and a special autograph party after the show - audience members will have a chance to meet Cowboy Kenny and his fellow motorcyclists out on the track. His stunts wowed the crowd last year and proved to be a major draw for rodeo goers. Cowboy Kenny is presented by Jack in the Box.

This year, the Rodeo welcomes The McMillan Family Trick Riders, presented by Green Valley Farm Supply. Five of the ten siblings come together to give you a taste of what it is like to work hard and trust in your horse. For the last four years, they have been touring the United States performing for sold-out crowds and are going to be a unique addition to the Rodeo this year.  

Rodeo Clown Slim Garner returns to the California Rodeo after a 3 year absence and is sure to wow the audience with his many wild antics. Some of his crowd favorites include his wild yellow airplane act and funky fishing and barbecue acts. He is sure to keep the crowd laughing and on the edge of their seats. Slim is presented by Willingham Woodworks.
