CALLING FOR 2019 SPONSORS - Proposal (please note some positions have been filled)

The Grenfell Rodeo Club would like to invite you to be a part of the 3rd Annual Grenfell Rodeo for 2019. Last year the club hosted the second rodeo Grenfell has had in over 20 years.

This year’s rodeo will be held on Saturday the 11th of May 2019 at the Grenfell Showgrounds, Alexandra Street. Times are yet to be confirmed though a big thrill seeking day and night is guaranteed. The rodeo will be affiliated with the Australian Bushman’s Camp Draft and Rodeo Association whom accredit some of the biggest rodeos in Australia including Coonamble, Mareeba, Tamworth, Forbes and many more.
