The Colorado State High School Rodeo was held in Greeley May 10, 11, and 12th at the Island Grove Event Center. The two rodeos were held in the Greeley Stampede Stadium Arena.  This the venue of the biggest summer rodeo in Colorado where the all the professionals compete.  The junior high and high school competitors were stoked to compete where many of their heroes will ride this July 4th. It would be like the Lamar Savage baseball team playing at Coors Field.
