The event will take place in Riverside Park, near the baseball field, following the Riverside Days parade that evening. The gates will open at 7:00 p.m. with bull riding set to begin at 8:00 p.m.
The Riverside Rodeo Committee members are Mason Fredin, Michael Halter, Dusty Lendt, Bracey Lerner, Andy Meine, Andy Plotz and Matt Vogel. They believe in giving back to our community.
