LONG BEACH — It was a weekend of denim jeans, cowboy hats and dusty chaps.

The 75th Annual Long Beach Rodeo, presented by the Peninsula Saddle Club, drew a capacity crowd — many dressed in western wear from spurs to Stetson hats — to the Sandridge Road arena on Saturday and Sunday.

The festivities kicked off Friday with an evening parade at 6:30 p.m. through downtown Long Beach before the official events began at 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon, with pee-wee, youth, amateur and professional rodeo participants.

The Northwest Professional Rodeo — featuring top cowboys and cowgirls competing in bareback, saddle bronc, bull riding, breakaway roping, calf roping, team roping, steer wrestling and barrel racing — took center stage Saturday and Sunday afternoon, with William ‘Bull’ Demers announcing. An enthusiastic crowd filled the stands both afternoons, with cars lining Sandridge for several hundred yards leading into the event on Saturday, the busiest day of the rodeo.

During breaks between professional competition, youth riders participated in barrel racing, stick-horse racing and other arena games on a shortened course. Ella Massey, 9, of Yacolt, took first place in the pee-wee barrel racing event, with a time of 19.58 seconds, followed by Fallen Fenner (21.62) of La Center, Granger Scalf (30.46), of Belfair, and Mallory Morrison (34.95), of Long Beach.

In the youth barrel racing competition, Paisely Hill, 12, of Goldendale, recorded the fastest time of the weekend (19.26). Delaney Gray, age 13, of Chinook, had the second-fastest time with (19.90), followed by Ayrianna Walters, 18, of Long Beach (20.25).
