Yellow-shirted Asphalt Cowboys will be all over town Wednesday selling tickets for this year’s Pancake Breakfast on Friday, May 17th. The breakfast is one of the most popular events in Redding all year and a highlight of Rodeo Week. It’ll be held again on Market Street in the newly renovated part of Downtown Redding. Tickets are $5 in advance and $6 the day of the event. This year’s Rodeo Week theme is “Neon Lights and Rodeo Nights”. Rodeo Week will feature all the old favorites, including Special Kids Day, the Chili Cook-off, Quick-Draw Contest and street dance, and the mock bank robbery with clues to find the loot. The Rodeo Parade will be on May 18th. The 76th annual Redding Rodeo is May 15th through the 18th. A lot more information is at asphaltcowboys.org and rodeo ticket information is at reddingrodeo.com.
