Summers in Minnesota - packed with all sorts of things to do.  We all do as much as we can during the summer months because, you know, it's summer.  It can be exhausting, but also very fun.

One of the fun events that has been here in other years, and now coming back this year is the PRCA rodeo!  I love a good rodeo.  Lots of action and it's fun to see what people can do on a horse, a bull, etc.  The events might look like they are easy, but if you have ever tried any of the events involved in a rodeo, you might have some new respect for the cowboys/cowgirls in these events.

IT'S BACK - AND YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS THIS

Hold on tight… the PRCA Rodeo is coming to the Benton County Fair for TWO BIG NIGHTS of action!

Mark your calendar for August 4th and 5th! You will see all of the rodeo action you expect.

• Bull Riding
• Barrel Racing
• Bareback Riding
It's a great action packed night for the whole family.  There really is something for everyone during the two days of this event.  Plus, it's the fair, so eat everything on a stick that you can, and just enjoy everything that a county fair has to offer.
