Here are some Images from the 2012 Folsom Pro Rodeo Parade. Hopefully next year less horses and more running cows!

Here we go.......

hopefully there will be a next year. I have heard discussion this may be the last time they do it.

Why?? What did you hear?..

That would be a shame. It was packed on Sutter street.

The chamber has always done the cattle drive as a lead-up to the rodeo. They aren't sure they want the expense of the cattle drive in the future. It would be a shame to lose it.

You know, the city could offset some of the costs of the cattle run by opening the business up. Charging $5 for little kids to participate in the parade in their best Abe Lincoln outfits. Chili cook off with entrance fees. There's lots of stuff they could do to invite community participation. It sure would be nice if they were more inclusive. to the general public.

all good ideas. the city does not run this event. the chamber of commerce does. and they are knee deep in rodeo activities when its going on, so it would be very hard for them to add even more to their already hectic workload at that time.

maybe the public could step up and help out though.
