Pool A Riders Dazzle Thousands in Attendance at the Stetson Bowl
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 18th, 2024
Surrey, B.C. – The 76th Cloverdale Rodeo kicked off in style as 48 riders took to the ring in the famous Stetson Bowl in front of a packed crowd. The evening’s competition was marked by close competitions, particularly in the bull riding event where only four riders posted a score and the top two competitors were separated by just half a point. Riders credited the quality of stock and the top-notch conditions in the ring as a primary reason why the competition was so fierce.
“The bucking stock is always outstanding, the crowd and the energy around the Stetson Bowl makes my hair stand on the back of my neck,” said bareback rider Caleb Bennet who posted a score of 84.5 in go-round one. “…it’s truly an honour to be a part of such an amazing event.”
Friday night’s events were also live-streamed directly by the Rodeo. This new broadcast format allows fans to see the action, even if tickets are sold out. Saturday afternoon’s go-round two for Pool A is already sold out, so fans are encouraged to follow their favourite riders on the live stream if they haven’t already purchased tickets. Event organizers will be updating the news story with links for each performance – fans can find the links here: https://cloverdalerodeo.com/2024/05/17/watch-the-rodeo-live-streaming-all-five-performances/
