Kojonup Caravan Park > Accommodation > Kojonup Show and Rodeo
The Kojonup P&A Society Annual Show and Rodeo was held on October 22nd 2011 and was a great success. We were very busy at the Kojonup Caravan Park with visitors from all over Western Australia taking advantage of our special campers, Cabin and Caravan weekend rates.
There were plenty of spills and thrills at the Rodeo with bull rides, bare back, saddle bronc, rodeo clowns, bucking bulls and broncs.
The day started with the slack events with all competitors working towards increasing their point scores while the evening got underway with the Grand Entry performed by the team of Elise Croft, Amber Bowtell, Shelby Bowtell, Tammy Kinney and the Rodeo Queen Stacey Lambert.
After the intermission it was the locals turn with Mutton busting from the youngsters, some of whom showed considerable determination in staying on their woolly chargers.
The Local Steer Ride saw 3 oldies against 3 youngies with the oldies taking top honors and the oldest of them all, Jack Arnold, taking the Shield.
The evening concluded with the Slingshot Challenge. All you had to do was stay on Slingshot for 8 seconds to collect the prize money but no one could go the distance.
Entertainment after the Rodeo was provided by the band 'Riders Iindisguise' which saw many kick on for a few more hours.
The Kojonup Shire helped fund this event for the community, with monies allocated through the Drought Relief Fund and it is hoped that it will be an annual event.
