| Greetings Veterans and Fellow Patriots:
July is Rally month! The 2026 POW*MIA Awareness Motorcycle Rodeo is Saturday, July 25, 2026 The poster is ready for distribution so feel free to print it and display it! We will once again be flying the largest POW/MIA flag high along the freeway to guide everyone in. This year we are including a Car & Bike Show N Shine with Customs and Classics. Gates open at 9am. Bring what you’ve got and show it off!
Our raffle has donations from the generous support of companies in our communities. We want to thank each of those donors and encourage you to support the businesses that support our mission. Check our our Rodeo website for more information. Also, listen to KZBQ 93.9 FM in the mornings between 6:30-8:00am the catch Cami live on the air with Paul Anderson! If you see the luckiest man alive, let him know we appreciate his support of our Rodeo.
We will meet Friday, July 24 at noon at the storage shed to load up equipment and supplies in the trailers to take to the Fairgrounds. We are always looking for help with the Rodeo set up.
