Once again, we’ve been given the opportunity to help fund our trail work activity by parking cars at the eight performances of The Worlds Oldest Rodeo® which will be held Wednesday June 28^th through Tuesday July 4^th at the Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo Grounds.  Volunteers will help direct parking, shuttle patrons, etc. from roughly 4-7 PM each day (plus a 10AM-1PM shift on Saturday morning, July 1^st). 

This is a fun event, and once parking is done you can grab some food and watch some of the action from Rodeo Hospitality.  To volunteer for this event, please download and complete the linked waiver form and bring it to the June 5^th PTR meeting (or e-mail PrescottTrailRiders@gmail.com ).
