The weekend-long 2023 Norco Mounted Posse-Professional Rodeo Cowboys’ Association rodeo wraps up Sunday at the George Ingalls Equestrian Center in Norco.

Sunday’s activities will begin with a cowboy church service scheduled for 10 a.m., then gates will open for the final round of roping and wrestling at 3:30 p.m, beginning with a “Challenged Children’s Rodeo” geared to special needs kids.

Between 4 and 5 p.m., military recruiters will be on hand for a U.S. Armed Forces salute that includes administering enlistment oaths to incoming soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines.

Saturday’s festivities included bull-riding, calf-roping and other frontier fun, followed by a “Rodeo Dance Party” and barbecue, with musical entertainment provided by country & western performer Paul Justin and his band.

The three-night event began Friday with a series of contests for both professionals and amateurs, including a bareback riding contest, steer-wrestling, barrel racing, mutton-busting and — the highlight — bull-riding.

Friday’s events also included an introduction to this year’s rodeo queens, followed by drill team performances and several hours of ring competition, organizers said.

The Norco Mounted Posse-PRCA Rodeo returned last year following a two-year hiatus. The event was suspended in 2020 and 2021 because of the coronavirus public health lockdowns.

Tickets are $20 for admission on Sunday. Kids under 3 years old will be admitted free and there are additional discounts for seniors and active-duty military personnel.
