A BLEACHER MELTING POT
WHILE MANY ATTENDEES ARE LOCAL RESIDENTS AND HART RANCH MEMBERS CHEERING FROM THE STANDS, SCHNABEL SAYS THEY’VE HAD GUESTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, INCLUDING IRELAND, POLAND, GERMANY, FINLAND, AND ASIA.
Upcoming themed nights at the rodeo include Educator Appreciation on August 6 and Military Appreciation on August 13. Rodeo contestants are among the top regional talent with some appearances from cowboys as far away as Australia, Schnabel exclaims. “These guys and gals are hungry to move up and continue competing on a high level in the rodeo world,” he adds. Schnabel says the crowd at the Wild West Wednesday rodeos is as diverse and dynamic as the event itself, with an electric blend of local flair and global curiosity. The relaxed “come-as-you-are” vibe, blending with the high energy performances, resonates with nearly everyone. “Many are first-time rodeo-goers, wide-eyed and grinning as they soak in the sights, sounds, and spirit of the arena,” said Schnabel. “It’s more than a show—it’s an experience they won’t forget.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT VISITRAPIDCITY.COM+
