After twenty-two years of special family celebration on Friday night, Sisters Rodeo has
changed that day to Sunday afternoon, Family Day.
“We felt that it is easier for families to enjoy the rodeo during the day when the sun isn’t
down and the temperatures remain warmer,” said President Glenn Miller. “It’s a no-
brainer.”
The sponsor of Family Day, Les Schwab Tires, agrees. “The family can stay for all of
rodeo. Sometimes Friday nights just got too cold. Now, little kids can still be there for
the whole big show,” said Raymond Blevins, Les Schwab of Sisters manager.
Also on Sunday, barrel man and clown JJ Harrison will host a celebration of kids. The
rodeo will have children’s face painting areas so the stands will be filled with “little JJs.”
Then, JJ invites the kids into the arena for a massive crowd photograph of a few
hundred small clowns and a real clown at the top of his rodeo game4444.
The first thousand kids at the rodeo will receive a special children’s rodeo program along
with a pen for the quizzes and fun inside.
All tickets are reserved, with children 12 and under free. Children need a ticket, which
can be acquired when parents purchase theirs.
Sisters Rodeo will begin June 6 with Xtreme Bulls, followed by four rodeo performances
June 8-10. For tickets and information, call the ticket hotline at 541-549- 0121 or 1-800- 827-
