Labor Day weekend to bring 11th Annual Chamber Rodeo to town

"I am excited to be involved with the rodeo again. I was on the board when it began over a decade ago, and it continues to provide quality entertainment to a great crowd each year." Wynn commented. "Emily, the former executive director, and the board executed the planning before I joined the office, and I look forward to seeing big crowds Labor Day weekend. We are wrapping up the final pieces over the next couple of weeks and hope to see you there!"

Rodeo tickets are ready for advance sale from the Chamber Office at 1136 S. Main Street and are available in limited quantities at Bank of Salem, Crossroads Branch; Town & Country Bank, both banks; Riverways Federal Credit Union; or Progressive Ozark Bank.
