“This year’s rodeo theme is “Honor The Badge “and was chosen as a way to say ”Thank You!” to our local law enforcement men and women for their service to the community. We want to focus on the positive contributions of law enforcement, for without their dedication to upholding the law, our everyday lives would be much different. Every officer puts his or her life on the line every day to keep us safe and sound. They deserve more than a pat on the back for their commitment to serve and we can’t think of a better way than to have them lead the 2015 Fortuna Rodeo Parade as our Grand Marshalls.
The Board of Directors has been working diligently to make this year’s event bigger and better than ever. We have several new and exciting additions this year. Friday’s Motorsports Night will featureColten Moore, an extreme quad rider who will be performing tricks and flips 80 feet through the air. He is one of only 3 riders in North America who flips quads professionally, and he’s been a Champion at the X-Games in the Extreme Snowmobile competition. He will be joined by Humboldt’s own Juliann D’Usseau. Julian is an extreme motorcycle rider who travels the world performing on the Metallica Tour. These two men will also perform at Saturdays rodeo. The Dare Devil Sweethearts, a trick riding group from Red Bluff will be tearing up the arena Saturday and Sunday at the rodeo. These talented woman will amaze you with their equestrian skills and courage. Saturday night at Bulls, Bands and Brews, Chad Bushnell and his band will be playing some great country rock in the middle of the arena. Chad is an up and coming country star and recently signed a recording contract in Nashville. He hails from Red Bluff, but has many ties to Humboldt County. A big thanks to all of our sponsors and volunteers, especially the City of Fortuna, Fortuna Volunteer Fire Department and the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce, for without them, we could not make Fortuna Rodeo Week happen. Hope everyone can make it out to enjoy these and all the other events throughout Fortuna Rodeo Week 2015. See you at the rodeo!
Happy Trails,
Shannon McWhorter, President”
