This coming weekend marks six decades of the Top Rail Saddle Club’s Western Days Rodeo in Lake City, and organizers are planning for the event to be bigger and better than ever to celebrate the occasion. The fun gets underway Friday night with a youth pool party from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the aquatic center and live music from the Jay Clyde Band from 8 p.m. to midnight in the town square. Lake City Betterment Director, Mackenzie Gorden, says activities continue bright and early on Saturday morning.
Most of the attractions will shut down around 3 p.m. to give everyone a break before the rodeo. Saturday’s show begins at 7:30 p.m., immediately followed by a fireworks display and live music from Henry and the Haymakers, and then Big Daddy Addy takes the stage at the Wright Place. Gorden says the rodeo will appeal to veteran and amateur fans alike.
Gorden adds they have plenty of activities lined up for people not planning to attend the rodeo, including the vendor show on Saturday, which has more than 60 vendors lined up to attend and the Kenny Schleisman Memorial Tractor Pull on Sunday morning. Gorden says they have added a new event to Sunday’s schedule this year: the First Annual Bags Tournament
Teams can register online or at Lake City businesses for $20 per pair. For more information and a full schedule of activities, visit the Western Days Facebook page, a link to which can be found included with this story on our website.
