October 6 Recruitment Event for Interested Volunteers
RENO, Nev. (October 4, 2017) – Each year it takes more than 500 dedicated volunteers to help the Reno Rodeo produce the longest-running, biggest, annual professional sports event in the area, known as the “Wildest Richest Rodeo in the West.”
“The volunteers represent the heart of the Reno Rodeo and truly are what make the rodeo possible,” said Bill Summy, 2018 Reno Rodeo President. “Recruitment events like this give us an opportunity to reach out to the community and meet some of the people that might want to get involved and be a part of our legacy – especially as we approach our 100th Anniversary.”
Anyone that is 18 years of age or older and is interested in learning more about what it takes to become a 2018 Reno Rodeo Wrangler is invited to a recruitment event at the Reno Rodeo Members Bar Oct. 6, from 5:30 to 8 p.m.
