Rodeo and Fair in Canby, OR. August 2024

The Canby rodeo I came to find, is an annual event that is lauded as one of the best rodeo's in the country. It is highly competitive and highly anticipated every year. The rodeo is filmed and televised on the Cowboy Channel, and thousands of fans turn out every day of the week to see the status results of the cowboys and riders who've competed. Growing up in the areas of California that I did, I was never exposed to rodeo life and this was my first time coming to watch. The athleticism was quite amazing and something to see from these cowboys and riders. There is also a fair onsite with food stalls lining the mid-way walking paths between the rodeo, and the rides and games. Four H members have animals on display in the barn areas as well. A traditional fair to be sure, all the favorites for food options and games with prizes. Certainly a fun time to be had by all when you're searching for a traditional country fair.
