The 4th Annual Keystone State Gay Rodeo rides into action October 3, 2020 starting at 11:30 am at Red Man Ranch & Arena, 359 Strawberry Road, New Freedom, PA 17349.    The event is a family-friendly, inclusive rodeo and country event that merges traditional rodeo favorites with some non-traditional fun and hilarious events all in a safe and inviting atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. Both men and women compete equally in all rodeo events and anyone ages 12 and over are welcome to compete.

If you are attending you can expect to see some traditional rodeo events such as bull riding, barrel racing and calf roping and includes some unique rodeo events, such as goat dressing, the wild drag race and steer decorating.   Goat Dressing is a team relay race to put underwear on a goat; steer decorating is a team event to get a 400-500 pound steer under control and tie a ribbon around its tail, and the wild drag race is a three person team event to get a 400-500 pound steer under control, then get a drag queen up on its back and get that combination across the finish line.   Make sure that you bring your camera and capture these unique events!

Admission into the rodeo is $10 each for adults 13 & over, $5 each for children ages 6-12 and free for children ages 5 and under.  The event is an outdoor event, so dress accordingly and please bring your lawn chair. Tickets can be purchased at ksgra.org
