With fantastic rodeo action happening across the country, CLN is proud to give you the who, what, when, and where about all things rodeo. This CLN Rodeo Recap will take you through the highlights of the 2019 rodeo extravaganza, Roots N’ Boots!

With the bleachers filled to the brim, the community came out in full force to celebrate their favorite home-grown rodeo event.
