Welcome to the 75th Annual La Junta Kids Rodeo and Race Meet!La Junta Kids Rodeo and Race Meet continues to promote cowboy tradition in the Arkansas Valley and surrounding areas of Southeastern Colorado. Our once-a-year rodeo draws participants from Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico and sometimes as far away as California.
On August 2 thru 5, 2012, we will host our 75th La Junta Kids Rodeo and Race Meet. We welcome all participants and encourage sponsors to join in our support of the young performers. La Junta Kids Rodeo is designated as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so that any sponsor contributions are tax deductible. NOTE: For the past 75 years, the first weekend in August has become a tradition, multiple generation tradition for some families, to head to La Junta for the La Junta Kid's Rodeo. This year, in honor of the 75th celebration of the Kid's Rodeo, the rodeo will be dedicated to the first year contestants. Any and all help is appreciated with locating the first year contestants. See list here. See y'all in August!
