Merrijig Rodeo: Saturday 11th March

Polish your boots and dust off the Akubra. The rodeo is coming to the High Country on Labour Day weekend Saturday and if you’ve never been to a Rodeo before, you’re in for a treat. Local characters, fair dinkum cowboys, roping, barrel races, clowns and Australia’s best rough riders make for an old fashioned good time. You can even test your own skills on the mechanical bull. Variety of food stalls and a well stocked bar. This event is non BYO. Proceeds to local district clubs & non profit organizations. Dont miss a great day! Entry TBA for 2012.
