Rodeo parade entry forms now available

Entry forms for the 2010 Sisters Rodeo Parade are now available.

The parade will be held on Saturday, June 12 at 9:30 a.m. in Sisters as part of the 70th anniversary celebration of "The Biggest Little Show in the World."

Entry deadline is May 15. Parade position numbers will be sent out after that date, according to the parade committee.

"The number of entries is limited, so interested persons should apply as soon as possible before the registration deadline," said Jeri Buckmann, parade co-chairman.

Entry forms can be printed from http://www.sistersrodeo.com or may be picked up at the Sisters Rodeo office, 220 W. Cascade Ave., or at the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce, 291 E. Main Ave. in Sisters.

"This is a wonderful Western tradition at Sisters Rodeo. The parade entertains the whole family," said co-chairman, Vicki Yost. "We have a variety of entries from infants to seniors, lots of music and color. It's a flashy parade, flag-waving, feet-stomping fun!"

The entry form includes general rules for parade participants and directions for finding accommodations and boarding facilities. Information for visiting rodeo courts is also available at the rodeo office for both the parade and Grand Entry preceding rodeo performances. Judging of entries will start at 8:30 a.m. on parade day, with trophies and ribbons to be awarded for several categories of entry.

The Sisters PRCA Rodeo will feature four performances on June 11-13. Tickets may be purchased at the rodeo office in Sisters from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays or by calling 541-549-0121 or 1-800-827-7522.
