Big-money rodeos come to Redding, Surrey COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Some might call Memorial Day Weekend the calm before the storm. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - There is more than one month between series of the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour, but cowboys and cowgirls won’t have any problem finding rodeos with healthy payoffs and the top livestock in the business. The Redding (Calif.) Rodeo and Cloverdale Rodeo & Exhibition in Surrey, British Columbia, start later this week and give contestants plenty of reasons to stay on the rodeo trail until the Reno (Nev.) Rodeo kicks off the summer Wrangler ProRodeo Tour and the Fourth of July run on June 18. Action in Redding, located in northern California about 215 miles north of San Francisco, starts May 20. The three-performance rodeo, which was among the cities on the 2000 summer Wrangler Tour and 2001 winter Wrangler Tour, concludes on May 22. The rodeo starts at 7:15 p.m. PT each day. Growney Brothers Rodeo Company, led by 2000 PRCA Stock Contractor of the Year John Growney, is bringing its best to Redding, which includes some of the toughest bulls in the PRCA. The rodeo also features $7,000 in added money per event. The Cloverdale Rodeo & Exhibition kicks off a three-day holiday weekend in Canada. The six-performance rodeo starts May 21 and ends on May 24, Victoria Day. The Greg and Duane Kesler tandem is providing the bucking stock at the rodeo, which makes Cloverdale a can’t-miss stop for bareback and saddle bronc riders. The Keslers came away with more honors last weekend when bareback horse Sky Reach Dip and saddle bronc Cool Alley Dip both named top horse in their respective event at the Pace Picante ProRodeo Chute-out in Las Vegas. The Cloverdale Rodeo & Exhibition offers $20,000 of added money per event. Nightly performances take place on May 21-23 at 7:30 p.m. PT, with matinee shows also set for 2 p.m. on May 22-24.
