Yippee! Rodeo, parade crowds jump
Some 6,000 people attended weekend rodeo events, a 20 percent jump from last year, said Payson Director of Tourism and Economic Vitality Cameron Davis. Although the number of competitors and prize money declined this year, Davis credited a $13,000 advertising campaign in the Valley and nearby towns with a heartening increase in attendance. In addition, the Saturday morning Rodeo Parade down Main Street drew more than 1,000 spectators and 71 entries, up from 42 last year, said Davis.
Larry Cohorn, right, and his heeler partner, Brian Sullivan, are quick to get their ropes around this steer before it can get out of reach in the team roping event, Saturday, Aug. 16 at the Payson Event Center during the annual 124th Payson Rodeo.
