The popular event at the Taralga Showground on Saturday, January 28, hosted by Taralga Rodeo and Campdraft, will be similar to previous editions, but president Jason Chalker there will be one omission.
"This will be our first rodeo in three years due to the bushfires and drought and it will be bigger event than any other we've ever had," Chalker said.
