Grab your cowboy hat and boots folks, The San Miguel Basin Fair and Rodeo is in town and promises to be jam packed full of events and competitions for everyone in the family. From the adrenaline rush of a pro cowboy taking a wild and thrashing 8 second bull ride around the arena, to little Johnny next door, hanging on with sheer guts, as he tumbles through his first mutton busting competition, Norwood Colorado is the place to be this weekend. The fair grounds are located just 40 minutes from downtown Telluride, on Wrights Mesa. The CPRA Rodeos will take place both Friday and Saturday evenings starting at 7:00 pm. Entry fee to Rodeo is only $9.00. There will be plenty of vendor stands with food, pop and beer, including the kids' favorites: sno-cones and cotton candy.
