The weather was perfect for the British Columbia Rodeo Association-sanctioned Clinton May Ball Rodeo on May 24-25.
It was cloudy and cool with the sun peeking through the clouds at times, so it was great for the rough stock as they bucked well and the riders, who stayed on board, picked up good scores and decent paycheques.
Rodeo stock contract D ‘n B Rodeos brought in some good rough stock and rodeo announcer Brian Baldry kept the crowd educated and entertained while the events transitioned to another and the cowboys prepared for their eight-second rides to the pay window.
