The ACU All-school Rodeo is held every year in
April. It is not only an opportunity to show off our department, but gives many
students from Urban areas the opportunity to participate in a once in a lifetime event.
Students from the University participated in this year’s rodeo many from Social
Clubs. There are three events for girls to participate and three events for the
guys to participate. The girl’s events are Wild Goat Milking, Goat Dressing,
and Calf Scramble. The boy’s events consist of Chute Doggin, Steer Wrestlin,
and Wild Cow Milking. Each event has 4 four members on a team. We also had
queen event where one girl from each social club compete to win a belt buckle.
They had a surprise event where the girls had to ride a Hog. This year was the
first time we held a roughie event for the boys where the boys from social
clubs compete for a belt buckle. Many students who did not participate in the
rodeo showed up to watch the events and to win door prizes such as gift cards
to local restaurants and shops. Students from the Aggie club helped run the
show by helping from running the shoots, timing the events, and registering
contestants in. We also had two of the most exciting clowns to entertain the
crowd and the contestants. I look forward each year to the rodeo it is Aggie
Clubs way to showing off the many talents and gifts that we can offer to ACU.
