-EVENT FACTS-Rascal Rodeo is an adaptive rodeo for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities of all ages.
Events are safe, modified to help participants accomplish the different activities.
1. COST: The Rascal Rodeo is FREE, thanks to our Host, the Benton County Fairgrounds.
2. SIBLINGS: No, they won't be considered participants. When time and resources allow they can take part in the different rodeo activities. They will not get any of the free items handed out. Don’t let this stop you from attending. YOU and your other children will miss out greatly by not seeing your child with special needs (of any age) be a cowboy or cowgirl. Seriously, it’s a miraculous experience for all and it’s a great opportunity for your other children to cheer for the cowboys and cowgirls.
3. BUCKLES: As long as we have enough donated buckles to hand out each participant will get to take one home with them to keep.
4. ONLINE REGISTRATION REQUIRED: All participants and volunteers are REQUIRED to register on our website, rascalrodeo.org. This will help cut down on check in time being that the release form is electronically signed during registration. It must be COMPLETE. No exceptions. Register each person individually.
5. VOLUNTEERS: All ages are welcome, as long as all attention is on the RR cowboys and cowgirls and not have to tend to your youth volunteer. Horse handlers and side walkers must be at least 18 years old. There is a job for everyone; write name tags, hand out shirts, ride a stick horse, take photos, milk a fake cow, etc.
6. TIME: Volunteers should arrive one hour before the rodeo start time. Participants just a few minutes before. The rodeo is typically one to one and a half hours long. This is plenty of time to take part in the activities with the event ending soon after the group photo. Volunteers are there 30 minutes after the event is over for cleanup. Volunteer horses ready & in arena 45mins before start.
7. ATTIRE: Closed toe shoes are required unless health issues prevent them. Participants/volunteers are encouraged to wear the shirts handed out during check in. Leave extra items at home.
8. ELIGIBILITY: We leave it up to the parents/guardian to be honest about if their child of ANY age is developmentally or physically disabled.
Spectators are always welcome! Come cheer on our cowboys and cowgirls!
Once registered a final detail email will be sent one week prior to event.
