Norco Rodeo Returns After Two-Year Hiatus
(CNS) – After a two-year moratorium, bull-riding, calf-roping and other frontier fun will return Friday to the George Ingalls Equestrian Center in Norco, for the start of the weekend-long 2022 Norco Mounted Posse- Professional Rodeo Cowboys’ Association rodeo.
Festivities are slated to get underway at 5 p.m. Friday with an introduction to this year’s rodeo queens, followed by drill team performances and several hours of ring competition, according to organizers.
The three-night event will boast a series of contests for both professionals and amateurs, including a bareback riding contest, steer- wrestling, barrel racing, mutton-busting and — the highlight — bull-riding.
The last Norco Mounted Posse-PRCA rodeo was in August 2019. The event was suspended in 2020 and 2021 because of the coronavirus public health lockdowns.
On Saturday, the rodeo will resume at 5 p.m., followed at 9 p.m. by a “Rodeo Dance Party” and barbecue, with musical entertainment provided by country & western band Tina Michelle & the Rhinestone Cowboys.
On Sunday, an open cowboy church service is scheduled at 10 a.m., and gates open for the final rounds of roping and wrestling at 3 p.m, beginning with a “Challenged Children’s Rodeo” for special needs kids.
Between 4 and 5 p.m., military recruiters will be on hand for a U.S. Armed Forces salute that includes administering enlistment oaths to incoming soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, organizers said.
Tickets are $20 for admission Friday, though kids under 3 years old will be admitted free, with additional discounts for seniors and active-duty military personnel. Saturday admission is $25, and Sunday admission is $20.

A troubling history is coming to light in a Palm Desert husband’s death. 65-year old Vicky Kim is accused in the death of her husband — but prosecutors say she had previously faced several domestic violence cases involving him. The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office says it had secured protective orders against Kim before a judge later resolved her cases as misdemeanors, released her from custody and terminated those orders. Now, Kim is expected to be arraigned in connection with her husband’s death. Court records allege the weapon used was a flagpole.
