Has anyone seen a poster with all the details about the rodeo? I've seen conflicting dates posted here on the message board. Also there are no details.

Ejido Day, February 6, isn't included this year? That's odd! Alaska Joe, Dave Godin, and a few other gringos who lived here way back when organized the first rodeo for Ejido Day. It's a funny story. Wish I could remember when and where I wrote it

There will be an Ejido day on Feb 6, but it will scaled back. There will be the normal mass, then food in the square. They plan to set up tents for shade. I heard Mariachi also, but that may be a rumor. Joe was at the Ejido meeting when the plan was discussed.

Re: Rodeo Poster

Thanks for this excellent list,Spencer! What a stroll down Memory Boulevard. Found the story I was referencing under LOIS LANE ON THE RODEO.

No, this was organized in the past by a group of expats. The rodeo has since become more of a commercial enterprise as the town has grown. Still lots of fun to experience by both local residents and us from the north.

Am I reading it correctly that it is essentially a parade today and then what is tomorrow?
