We thought we would change our photo and show some history.  The photo is of Chip Nunnemaker and Bob Main down at the rodeo grounds.  In 1957 a group of horse enthusiasts joined to form a new riding club.  Dr. Leland Lowen, founder of the Garberville Hospital, was the motivating force behind the new club, which is now known as the Mounted Mt'neer's. There were 80 original charter members and they were responsible for producing the very first Garberville Rodeo.  The site of the first rodeo was an arena constructed on the former Trabing Ranch, located on East Branch Road, belonging to Lou and Izora Trabing. Shortly after the first rodeos the ranch was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Main an d Mr. and Mrs. Chip Nunnemaker.
Thank you to the Main family, Nunnemaker family and the Mounted Mt'neer's for over 59 years of support.

This year there will be a drawing for a 2016 Honda CRF50 dirt bike donated by Humboldt Motorsports and Bushnell Ranch.  For every adult paid admission at the main gate on Friday and Saturday you will get one entry into the drawing.  At 8pm on Saturday we will draw one winner.  You must be present to win and if you come both days you double your chances.  See you at the 59th Annual Garberville Rodeo June 17 & 18, 2016.
