The two-day River City Rodeo at the Vanderburgh County 4-H Fairgrounds in Evansville takes place on Friday, May 17th, and Saturday, May 18th from 5:00 to 10:30 PM Central each day. The event is put together by the Hoosier Cowboy Association, a non-profit organization that looks to use a "unified and positive culture to improve the mental, physical, and spiritual needs of our communities through relationships, hard work, integrity, and faith."

Last year's event was a huge success with the inclusion of "Yellowstone" actor Forrie J. Smith who plays Lloyd Pierce, the oldest ranch hand on the fictional Dutton family ranch and one of the members of the group who have been branded for their loyalty to the family and the business. This year, the River City Rodeo will be offering something really cool that I know a lot of people would really like to win.

Your tickets to the River City Rodeo could score you tickets to see Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" in Indianapolis on November 3rd. You can learn more about that in the post below.
