USA "California Rodeo Salinas 2013" Jay Dunn 53 images Created 13 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.
