THE Rising Sun Rodeo Committee will stage the West Berbice Rodeo on Sunday at the Rising Sun Turf Club, Arima Park, West Coast Berbice.

The event, which by now has become a house hold name on the sporting calendar, is expected to be bigger this year with a number of feature events on the day’s card.
The activity is expected to kick off at 12:00 hrs with some 12 events listed on the day’s programme.
Among the expected events are steer roping, bare back bronco, male and female barrel race, wild cow milking, calf roping, wild bull riding, saddle bronco, the Rodeo King competition and the popular Tug-o-War events. The clowns will be back again to treat the crowd with their stunts.
Once again, Vaqueros (cow boys) are expected from Brazil, Suriname and Venezuela, to match skills with their Guyanese counterparts.
Locals competitors from interior locations including Lethem and the Rupununi Savannahs are slated to grace the event with their presence and test the skills of the cowboys from the West Coast Berbice, the Corentyne and the Berbice River who will again be in action.
A number of new stunts are expected to be performed with the weather being in excellent condition, so far.
Meanwhile, renovation and upgrades have been completed at the venue and fans are expected to be in for a grand time.
