Wranglers Campground to Host 15th Annual Grand Jubilee & Primitive Rodeo

July 1, 2011

GOLDEN POND, KY – Visit Wranglers Campground at Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area July 15-16, for the 15th Annual Grand Jubilee and Primitive Rodeo.  Wranglers Campground is located 5 miles south of Golden Pond Visitor Center.

The Jubilee is a celebration for all the horse lovers and trail riders who have made Wranglers Campground such a success during the past year.  There will be children’s activities, and half-price camping will also be offered on Friday and Saturday.

J-N Rodeo Company returns to Wranglers Campground with events beginning at 8 p.m.  Enjoy exciting rodeo activities such as saddle-bronc and bareback riding, steer wrestling, calf roping, barrel racing, break-away roping, and bull riding.  “Primitive” refers to the informal atmosphere--Wranglers Campground does not have a permanent arena, so bring your own lawn chairs.  Rodeo admission is $8 ages 13 and up; $5 ages 12 and under.  

“We invite people to come out, bring their family, and enjoy the festivities,” said Randall Mitchell, Wranglers Campground Manager.

“This is a great opportunity for the surrounding communities to fuel their passion for horses and take advantage of an exciting event for both riders and spectators.”

Land Between The Lakes is managed by the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, in partnership with “Friends of LBL,” to provide public lands outdoor recreation and environmental education.  We encourage visitors to review our website at www.lbl.org each season, and throughout the season, for our Calendar of Events, updates on programs and policies, safety information, maps, and temporary trail and road closures.  Additional LBL and “Friends of LBL” information is also available on our website or by calling 1-800-LBL-7077 or 270-924-2000.
