Montgomery County Fair and Rodeo set to host new event for the 69th year

Running from April 9-19, and with a new event this year, the Montgomery County Fair and Rodeo’s main focus is to create “pathways and opportunities for local youth to succeed,” Montgomery County Fair Executive Director Tobin Redwine said. The rodeo has changed since its original founding, but the goal of supporting the local Montgomery community has remained the same.

The big picture: Originally founded in the '60s, the rodeo started off as a “field day” where locals would spend the day on a rancher's land. As the years went by, new events and games were slowly introduced, and fast forward over 65 years later, the rodeo has now become a staple for the local Montgomery community, according to its website.

Quote of note: “Montgomery County is at a unique intersection of innovation and growth and also connection to history and heritage that shows up in such a tangible way at the fair," Redwine said. "So it's a fantastic way to spend some time and it's also a way to connect with that unique intersection."
