Sun Parlour Rodeo bids a fond farewell

After 20 events, the Pavao family and their committee can hold their heads high as the Sun Parlour Rodeo closed the final curtain on the event with an exciting 20th weekend of shows on that popular property along Road 4 north of Ruthven.

Nelson Carvalho joined John and Rina Pavao and their daughters on stage for the final show Sunday, August 6, thanking everyone for their support over the past 22 years.

They’ve raised over $850,000 for various local charities over those years.

The show included bull riding, trick riding, barrel racing and lots of fun and laughter for the sold-out crowd.

Rawhide Rodeo has partnered with Sun Parlour Rodeo since day one to provide a top-notch family-oriented show.
