VISIT EVANSVILLE/VANDERBURGH COUNTY ACTIVITIES REPORT

EVANSVILLE / VANDERBURGH COUNTY
MAY 2022
“Howdy” Friends of Evansville!

Did you know that there is a whole website dedicated to Rodeo-related words? Bronc, pole bending, bulldogged, hazer, freehand, cloverleaf, the cowboy nod, and so much more! I’ve been studying my rodeo terms as our region gets set to host two of these major wrangling events: the Southern Indiana River City Rodeo May 19-21 at the Vanderburgh County 4-H Center, and the PBR Touring Pro event May 27-28 at the Ford Center. Over two weekends in May, you can catch the best events that rodeo has to offer in the tri-state! From team roping to barrel racing and bull riding, you will not want to miss experienced veterans and ambitious newcomers taking on some of the most challenging obstacles, and animals, in sport today. For a full list of schedules and events, visit the websites below to plan your rodeo weekends!

We also hope you’ll join us for our monthly industry briefing on Wednesday, May 25 at 1:30 PM. The meeting will be held at Deaconess Sports Park, where we hope the weather will cooperate so we can show off the new turf infields and other improvements at the complex. We want to engage ALL our hospitality and tourism colleagues to attend, so whether you work at a hotel, a restaurant, attraction, retail shop, or just want to join us and hear what’s new, we would love to see you.  We appreciate your help and support in continuing to build our regional network to keep all our partners and stakeholders better informed.

As always, “holler if you need me!”
