Season’s Greetings enjoyed in July

T he Fourth of July run, also known as Cowboy Christmas, is the most lucrative week of rodeo’s regular season. It’s a time of year every cowboy looks forward to and truly is a holiday in the rodeo world. Cowboys competed from California to Canada to Illinois to Texas. Specifically, Cowboy Christmas included rodeos with at least one performance between July 1-10. The end result was a week of 30 rodeos worth more than $3.9 million. 30 RODEOS OF CHRISTMAS
