Don King Days
Always held over Labor
Day weekend in the fall, this grand celebration features a variety
of events, with Championship Steer Roping, bronc riding in the old
style with the cowboy mounting without the use of a chute, polo,
and wild cow milking. And the best part is that all the fun is right
in front of you, no arena fences or barriers.
.
The Roper's Calcutta will be Sunday morning following the Henry
Burgess Memorial Polo Cup.
The first two go-rounds of roping will be Sunday, right after the
polo game, then the Wild Cow Milking...
Monday morning the action starts with the Finals of the Don King
Days Polo Tournament, followed immediately by rounds of Roping and
Bronc Riding.
The clubhouse is open both days and into the evenings.
