In order to help facilitate our construction of new grandstand seating, the 2013 Otero County Fair Ranch Rodeo has been canceled. Through the efforts of the legislature and the Otero County Fair Board we will have a much needed improvement and more spectator seating. We appreciate your interest and participation in our past Ranch Rodeos and hope that when we have one in 2014 you will plan to participate.

   We will send out information prior to the sign up for the ranch rodeo in 2014.

   Hope to see you in 2014!
 

*The Ranch Rodeo is a separate event held at our fairgrounds arena, and this cancellation in no way effects the Otero County Fair Rodeo held during our Annual Fair.
