From the moment fans step into the front gates of Folsom’s Dan Russell arena they can’t help but notice the sea of red white and blue throughout the facility that is transformed annually by Choose Folsom and the Folsom Chamber of Commerce to host the annual Folsom Pro Rodeo. From the skydiver delivered American Flag descending into the arena to the majestic moves of Folsom’s Painted Ladies to little locals mutton busting, barrel races, bull riders, flying motorcycles and everything in between the event that spans six decades offers something for everyone and brings an economic boost to the community of Folsom as local businesses welcome rodeo guests from all parts into their amazing establishments.
Folsom Times is proud to be a community partner with Choose Folsom and sponsor of the Folsom Pro Rodeo. In addition to our support to help the event take place, we also are part of the multi-day affair, engaging with our community, bringing you the unique stories from behind the scenes and of course, capturing the memories for our readers and advertisers in the way of photographs throughout the event. Please enjoy some of our favorite images of the 63rd Folsom Pro Rodeo so far this year in this Folsom Times photo gallery. All Folsom Times photos by Bill Sullivan.
