Bring the family and friends for some old-time fun – horses, floats, bands – and help the judges decide on this year’s Overall Crowd Pleaser.

As always, we need a WAGON LOAD OF VOLUNTEERS, so if you haven’t decided how to spend a few hours this rodeo season, give us a holler and join up. It is lots of fun and well worth your time. And it’s easy to volunteer – you can even do it online.

You can also register your entry for the parade and pay online. The Parade entry deadline is May 31, 2008. Entry form, proof of vehicle insurance, signed liability waiver and payment must be received by this date. A late fee of $10 will be applied. Space is limited, so sign up today!!

The Evergreen Rodeo Parade begins the fun of rodeo weekend in Evergreen. Each year, up to 100 marching bands, floats, horses, carriages, antique cars and farm equipment pass by the lake and through downtown Evergreen. Local friends join with entries from the entire Front Range. Our judges will award first through third places and a cash prize to the biggest crowd pleaser.

This year’s theme is Belles & Bulls. Check out this site to see how you can VOLUNTEER to be part of the Parade activity as well!

Can’t put together your own float? Join as many as 1,500 spectators lining the streets to see bullfighters, rodeo clowns and Wild West frontiersmen like Buffalo Bill. Come early to downtown for the Main Street Celebration! Festivities begin at 9:00am with bucking bull rides, pony rides for the kids, martial arts, belly dancing demos, and more! Enjoy fabulous food, drinks and store sales. Hosted by the Evergreen Downtown Business Association. www.heartofevergreen.com

The Kiwanis is hosting a pancake breakfast before the parade and the area breakfast places will also be open. It's the most important meal of the day, so come early to eat some pancakes and stake out your seat!

The road through downtown Evergreen will be closed from 9:30 until the last float has made its way through the entire parade route. On-street parking downtown will not be available until after the parade. Please allow ample time to walk to the parade route and to make a leisurely exit.

Gates for the Saturday Rodeo performance open at 3 and the rodeo begins at 7:00 p.m. The Sunday Rodeo performance is at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the parade.

Belles & Bulls is this year’s theme. Prizes will be awarded, so pull out all the stops!
