THE youngest cowboys and cowgirls of the Mareeba region will dust off their hats and boots next Saturday 1 July for the 40th annual Mareeba Rodeo Cowpokes Competition.
The competition is an opportunity for the young ones to get involved with the rodeo and get dressed up for a good time.
They will be judged, like the rodeo queens, on their personality and their knowledge on the rodeo.
Entertainment, a cent sale, activities, colouring competitions, food stall and raffles will also be there on the day for everyone to enjoy.
The rodeo queen entrants will also be introduced for the first time.
Cowpoke entries can be made on the day from 12pm for $5 a participant. Judging will take place at 1pm at the Bull Bar, Mareeba Rodeo Grounds.
