A lot of Washington kids and military veterans will be able to attend performances of the Ellensburg (Wash.) Rodeo for free on Sept. 4 and Sept. 7. The rodeo committee announced the “Ellensburg Rodeo Stimulus Package” at a press conference on April 29.
“We are delighted to be able to give something back to the community that has been a critical part of the Ellensburg Rodeo,” said Dave Standish, Ellensburg rodeo president. “It couldn’t come at a better time with the current state of the economy.”
The Ellensburg Rodeo runs Sept. 4-7, and will also host the Xtreme Bulls Tour Finale, presented by B&W Trailers Hitches, on Sept. 5.
On Sept. 4, there will be free admission to the rodeo and fairgrounds for the Kittitas County youth baseball players (620 tickets) and local Veterans of Foreign War members (100 tickets).
