Entry forms for the 2012 Sisters Rodeo Parade are now available.

The parade will be held on Saturday, June 9 starting at 9:30 a.m. in downtown Sisters as part of the 72nd Sisters PRCA Rodeo. Entry deadline is May 15, with parade position numbers to be sent out after that date, according to the committee.

Forms may be accessed at www.sistersrodeo.com, or at the rodeo office, 220 W. Cascade Ave. in Sisters. The entry form includes general rules for parade participants, a map of the route, where to obtain information on overnight accommodations, and boarding for animals.

"The parade is a highlight of the Sisters Rodeo weekend and features rodeo queens, marching bands, floats, equestrian groups, cowboys and cowgirls of all ages," said committee member Jeri Buckmann.

Judging begins at 8:30 a.m. on parade day, with trophies and ribbons to be awarded for both adult and youth groups.

Information for visiting rodeo courts and advisors is also available at the rodeo office for both the parade and the grand entry during the four rodeo performances.
