USA "California Rodeo Salinas 2012" Jay Dunn 30 images Created 6 Oct 2013

The annual California Rodeo Salinas, one of the largest in the country, is the culmination of "Big Week" in town, when Western-wear is encouraged, and the whole town participates in traditional kick-off events like the “Kiddy Kapers” parade, with homemade floats and marching bands. The California Rodeo Association, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to preserving the traditions of rodeo, and annually contributes much of its revenue to the community.
