Life is a rodeo, Part II

The Lakeside Rodeo, considered to be the premier rodeo in Southern California, is held annually in the spring and features Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association-sanctioned events, bull riding and barrel racing. The Lakeside Summer Stampede is a new event, held July 31 to Aug. 1 at the Lakeside Rodeo Arena, that featured barrel racing, rough stock, roping and mutton busting. A good opening night crowd of about 2,100 greeted the newest kid on the block. Photos by Andy Bartotto
