During the spring and summer months this year, I went out to attend several rodeos in Gallup's Red Rock Arena at Red Rock Park.

During our daily breakfast gathering at Denny's this morning, the subject of rodeos came up. I said I had such a good time at each of them that I am looking forward to going to them next year. They're very entertaining.

It was mentioned that the town of Prewitt, New Mexico has a good rodeo. I've seen their rodeo grounds from Interstate 40. Prewitt is about 28 miles from Jamestown.

There is a website, Rodeos USA, that has a calendar and email newsletter of upcoming rodeos. They haven't put up the 2019 schedule as yet.
