EVENT DETAILS &
LOCATION
The Golden
Community Rodeo is a grass-roots effort that brings together whitewater enthusiasts, local
residents and businesses, and industry representatives to participate in this community
event. The GCR is organized, managed, and run exclusively by local volunteers whose common
characteristic is the hope that all levels of boaters will feel welcomed at this event
– from the meekest “newbie” to the local heroes. Our goal is to provide fun
events where everyone is welcome, and everyone is supported.
Each year this series has grown, with each event attended by 40+ paddlers and 50+ spectators. The original organizers worked hard to get the local community involved and have encouraged all paddlers to take ownership of this event by competing and working to plan and organize the event. The results are tremendous! We now have a supportive group of local boaters who are working hard to put together the logistics and gather prizes to offer to our competitors and spectators.
