The event will feature the regular action in the ring, as well as carnival entertainment, bar facilities, food vendors and a mechanical bull for aspiring bull riders.
Euroa Apex Pro Rodeo secretary Carol Steinfort said last year’s event was a huge success with more than 2200 spectators and 75 volunteers.
‘‘Accommodation in the area was booked out for the event,’’ Ms Steinfort said.
‘‘It really was a fun, relaxed and entertaining event catering to all ages and we were delighted by the presence of so many families.’’
Top Australian country musician Jade Gibson will perform at the event.
‘‘Her first single The Great Unknown debuted at number one on the Australian Country iTunes charts and at 31 on the overall charts on March 8 this year,’’ Ms Steinfort said.
A Little Miss Rodeo and Little Master Rodeo event will run for those aged under 10 and will be judged and awarded by Miss Rodeo Ballarat 2019, Ally Tarpey.
‘‘Ally will also be competing in ladies’ breakaway and barrel racing,’’ Ms Steinfort said.
‘‘She will be fundraising on the night as part of her entry in Miss Rodeo Australia, which will go to her chosen charity Ambulance Victoria helicopter branch.’’
Ms Steinfort thanked the many sponsors of the event and the wider community for their support.
‘‘We are excited to again deliver to Euroa an event for all ages and of course family-friendly to showcase our town to locals and visitors,’’ she said.
