The 153rd Silver Spurs Rodeo marks 80th anniversary year

It’s just like it has been since 1944. As it's been for the past 80 years, the action was fast and furious this weekend at the 153rd Silver Spurs Rodeo. Professional cowboys came from all over, including local steer wrestlers Kamry Dymmek and Juan Alcazar, who topped the steer wrestling charts Friday night.

In front of a sold-out crowd Saturday, the junior bull riders and Junior Quadrille showed their stuff, and the youngest rodeo fans got to try their hands at mutton bustin’ to see how long they could stay on a goat. At the heart of it, the Silver Spurs Riding Club kept its traditional focus on the community, providing charitable contributions to the Boys & Girls Club of St. Cloud and Safety First PediAquatics.
