Humboldt Sponsors will sponsor the 2024 Exceptional Rodeo, in partnership with Redwood Acres Fair and the Humboldt Beef Ambassadors. The event will take place on Sunday at Redwood Acres in Eureka and is open to people of all ages and disabilities, said Kim Cobine, president of Humboldt Sponsors, who encourages the general public to attend.

“Every year we look forward to this event. We hope you will join us in showing support for the exceptional cowboys and cowgirls as they enjoy an action-packed day of western fun,” she said.

There is free access to the fair gate for all participants and one supervisor. The fun starts at 11am, with carnival rides, a ride to the arena and then a free lunch at noon. Afterwards, a variety of exceptional Rodeo games and activities will be available, overseen by the Humboldt Beef Ambassadors. There will be prizes for all participants.

For more information or to register, call Jamie at 707-445-3037 or email her at [email protected]. Late registrations will be accepted during the event.
