For heart-stopping excitement with a hearty dose of old-fashioned family fun, few things top the Annual Rodeo. One of the top open professional rodeos in the state, the annual Open Professional Rodeo is anticipated each year by contestants and fans alike.
The Cuero Livestock Show Board is bringing a Lester Meier Open Pro Rodeo to Cuero for the fifteenth year on August 9th and 10th. The rodeo will be held at the Cuero Rodeo Arena and will start each night at 8 p.m. Tickets will be sold at the gate. Adult tickets will be $15, kids 7-12 will be $5 and kids under 6 will be free. For more information call the DeWitt County Extension office at 361275-0816.
'The 2024 rodeo season is shaping up to be an exciting wild ride for both fans and contestants alike,' Meier said. 'With our rodeos you can always expect talented professional performances.”
The thrilling action will last about two hours as rodeo professionals from around the state and across the country compete for big jackpot money in rodeo staples like 'Bucking Broncos,' 'Barrel Racing,' and the continual crowd favorite, 'Bull Riding.'
Pros from around the state make the rodeo a more enjoyable experience for everyone. There is the highspeed energy of Drill Teams as they perform mounted precision drills and the hilarious antics of a rodeo clown act that will keep the audience entertained and in stitches between events.
The sport of rodeo is only as strong as its livestock and the Lester Meier Rodeo company rough stock is known throughout the state as double tough. Each head of stock is handpicked for each performance by Meier himself. Equally devoted to providing quality roping stock, he insists that only top qualified timekeepers and the latest, most up-to-date equipment is used. The Lester Meier Rodeo Company celebrated their 50th anniversary in the rodeo business last year and is still going strong.
