A bareback rider holds on to the whistle during this ride in the PRCA rodeo last week.
After several years of amateur rodeos the Caribou County Commissioners along with the Fairboard brought pro rodeo back to the Caribou County Fair and it did not disappoint. Initially fairboard members were more than a little nervous about moving the traditional rodeo nights up a few days from what they previously had been but after tallying up ticket sales and seeing the crowds over the two days any concerns were put to rest. Over the two days of events fans were treated to a litany of rodeo stars including the current number one bull rider in the PRCA Josh Frost. In addition to all of the broncs, bulls, and roping the crowds were entertained by pro rodeo clown Scott Allerdings as well as trick rider and roper Spencer Rose. Despite the move to Tuesday and Wednesday nights the rodeo events still boasted the largest crowds of any of the nighttime fair events. The Fairboard is hopeful that with that show of interest and enthusiasm by residents of the county that the PRCA will be back again for next year's fair.
