2025 Franklin Rodeo Special Events for Kids:

Calf Scramble

Calf Scramble is a great way for the kids to get up close and personal with some of our fuzzy little farm animals! There are two age groups: 6-9 and 10-12.  We place a ribbon on the tails of three calves and turn the kids and the calves loose.  The first three participants to return the ribbon to the clown wins a cash prize. Not responsible for lost boots, flip flops, hats or anything stepped in other than arena dirt!

Mutton Bustin’

Here’s the Rules:

• Must enter the drawing AT THE RODEO for a chance to ride  (No pre-registration)
• Any willing child under 50 pounds may enter
• Entries close right after the Grand Entry so enter early
• 10 names are drawn each night. Listen for the announcer to call your name
• We’ll strap on a helmet and buckle up a vest for safety
• One parent is allowed on the arena floor during the event
• All of these aspiring cowboys and cowgirls receive a participation award from the sponsor
