Monday Lowdown: Fortuna Rodeo Week’s Yeehaws Start TODAY

Fortuna’s boots are on again! For the next seven days, the “friendly city” will be just a bit friendlier as it comes together for a week of festivities to celebrate the return of the annual Fortuna Rodeo. Let your Lowdown give you a quick rundown of the “yeehaw”-eliciting events in store this week (click any day for a complete schedule of that day’s events):

  • Monday: Burn your tongue out of your mouth at the annual Chili Cookoff on Main Street.
  • Tuesday: Exhaust your children during the Children’s Game Night at the Redwood Village Shopping Center.
  • Wednesday: The carnival opens in Rohner Park and remains for the remainder of the week. Plus, more child occupying games and Junior Rodeo.
  • Thursday: Hopefully, nothing catches fire in Fortuna Thursday, our local heroes will be occupied with the annual Fireman’s Games. Plus, there’s barrel racing at the Rodeo Grounds in the evening.
  • Friday: Motorsports Night rodeo clown Troy Lerwill, the Diesel Truck Tug-of-War Championship and, of course, the wow,-someone-thought-of-that spectacle that is Quadiators.
  • Saturday: With the weekend comes the actual rodeo part of the Fortuna Rodeo, but there’s also a parade and the Bulls, Broncs, Bands and Brews shindig at the rodeo grounds.
  • Sunday: More rodeo, plus the annual gut-busting barbecue and Fortuna Rodeo Run/Walk.
