A little about the Rodeo...
The largest annual community event in the Portola Valley/Woodside area is once again coming shortly, drawing viewers and participants from all over Northern California. The Mounted Patrol of San Mateo County (MPSMC) proudly presents the 52nd annual Woodside Junior NorCal Rodeo in a park-like setting. This rodeo started over a half-century ago in La Honda, California, and this year we are planning a fabulous gala event with many special attractions, including, but not limited to, an extra large petting zoo and the ever-famous pig scramble open to all children attending.
The rodeo is the largest fund raiser for the Mounted Patrol which is a major contributor to both local and national groups. The benefactors of the Patrol efforts include but are not limited to: The Sheriff's Star Program, which provides at-risk children with positive examples and alternatives to less-than-optimistic surroundings; the National Center for Equine Facilitated Therapy, where physical therapy on horseback is provided to severely handicapped children; St. Jude's Children's Hospital, which provides treatment and research in pediatric cancer and other childhood catastrophic diseases, and other organizations benefiting the community.
We normally host approximately 3000 + spectators. We hope you will once again provide the much needed media exposure which is extremely important to inform the community. This rodeo is of special interest due to the fact that the contestants are ages 18 years and under and will perform most of the events usually associated with any professional rodeo. The rodeo will be open to the public at 8:00AM (some qualifying events start at 8:00AM with the colors being presented around noon followed by the main events). Beverages, breakfast, and lunch will be served throughout the day.
This year's Rodeo Queen is Katie Lewine, 14, the daughter of Mike and Patty Lewine of Redwood City, CA. She is completing her freshman year at the Woodside Priory School. An avid horsewoman, she participates in the SMCHA Western Riding Clinics, Mounted Patrol Playdays and does numerous trail rides. She has completed Parelli Natural Horsemanship Level 2. Her horse is Go Jo Passer (barn name of Jo), a 14 year old Appendix Quarter Horse gelding. In the rodeo, she will be riding Rocky, a Quarter Horse/Morgan cross gelding owned by Mounted Patrol Member Kevin Daley and wife Nan and daughter, Colleen.
The 2002 Rodeo Princesses are Jordan Aboud and Brianna Garcia. Jordan, 14, is also completing her freshman year at Woodside Priory School. She participates in numerous horse shows and is an avid trail rider. In the rodeo, she will be riding War Chant (barn name of Chant), a 15 year old Quarter Horse gelding, owned by Mounted Patrol First Lieutenant Art Mintz. Brianna, 13, is completing 7th grade at MIT in Redwood City. Her horsemanship covers Mounted Patrol Playdays, rodeo events and trail rides. In the rodeo, she will be riding Chocolate Chip (barn name of Chip), owned by Patrol member Mike Harper. Chip is a 20+ year old Tennessee Walker bay with a white star that is Search and Rescue certified and has been used as a Fields Trials horse in the past. Congratulations to all three of these fine young equestrian ladies.
In addition to the above mentioned attractions, this year's rodeo will have two professional drill teams presenting the colors and performing during the Grand Entry. The California Cowgirls and the Cow Palace Cowgirls will deliver a performance that you won't want to miss.
Admission is $12 for adults, $6 for children ages 18 years and under, and free for children under the age of 5. Parking is included with admission.
A special reminder: Don't miss the Pre- Rodeo Dinner Dance taking place Wednesday, July 3rd. The dance will star the well-known recording artists, California Cowboys. The clubhouse will be open at 6pm for this dinner dance. The cost is $18 for adults, $8 for children eight years and under, and $10 for music only. Please feel free to contact me at 650-851-8300 or www.mpsmc.org for further information or promotional material.
