The first of two weekend matinee performances of the California Rodeo Salinas entertained 13,851 fans at the Salinas Sports Complex. Attendance was up 18.6% over the same performance in 2019, the last year that the Rodeo was held in July. Veterans and Active Military gained free entry into the event which was presented by Tanimura & Antle.
The Special Buckaroos Rodeo was also presented by Tanimura & Antle and took place at noon on the Rodeo Track. The event hosted 24 children with disabilities from Monterey County who participated in various rodeo events led by professional cowgirls, cowboys, and Rodeo volunteers.
Veteran James ‘Guido’ Davis delivered the American flag to the arena via airplane and will repeat it again on Sunday.
