This week marks the beginning of the North Washington Rodeo.
The festivities kick off at 6 p.m. Monday with a Kick-Off Party at the rodeo arena on Route 38. Admission is free for that event and will include concessions and entertainment.
The official 64th annual sanctioned rodeo runs Tuesday through Saturday beginning at 8 p.m. each night with world champion cowboys and cowgirls from around the world.
At a cost of $18 for adults, $16 in advance, $9 for kids 4 to 12, the rodeo serves as the main fundraiser for the North Washington Volunteer Fire Department. Tuesday and Wednesday are family nights with one full price adult ticket getting one child in for free.
