"THIS AIN'T MY FIRST GO ROUND: RODEO ROOTS IN GRANT COUNTY" SATURDAY AUGUST 19 11:00 am-12:30 pm Museum curator Javier Marrufo will query two knowledgable locals, Don Turner and JoAnn Miller, about Grant County rodeo. Conversation and stories inspired by rodeo photos dating from 1910 to 1970's. Ranching requires seasonal round ups, branding and other cattle wrangling. Ranch hands practice lassoing and riding skills needed for livestock management at small rodeos in western Grant County. In the 1940s local rodeo became more formalized. The Sheriff's Posse organized the annual Fourth of July Rodeos in Silver City that led to the annual Wild West Rodeo at the Southwest Horseman's Arena east of Silver City. The annual Ranch Rodeo, Nunn's Frontier Rodeo and Junior Rodeo take place during the Grant County Fair in September at Gila.
