Organizers of the California Rodeo (RO-DAY-O) Salinas say they remain optimistic that their July event will take place as scheduled.
On Facebook, rodeo officials said they have created a COVID-19 Response Committee that meets weekly to review information and discuss options and best practices.
The organization’s Monster Jam, Cowboy Poetry and the Gala have all been postponed.
In the statement, organizers said “The California Rodeo Salinas and Big Week activities are an integral part of our community, preserving the traditions of the west and generating economic activity including significant funding for local non-profits.”
However, “The safety and well-being of our fans, volunteers, contestants, sponsors and everyone involved in the events is of the utmost importance to us.”
