Copper John's Resort: Immerse Yourself in Ozark Mountain Culture - Fun For the Whole Family!

Immerse Yourself in Ozark Mountain Culture

Want to experience some genuine local culture and enjoy a few laughs while supporting kids in the local community? North Central Arkansas is home to several rodeo arenas for those of you who should've been cowboys (or cowgirls). One in particular, located at Bar None Cowboy Church in Midway, about 15-20 minutes down the road from Copper John's Resort, opens its gates to host a family-friendly Kids Rodeo once a month on Sunday afternoons.

Fun for the Whole Family Any Time of Year

Bar None's large indoor arena provides a spacious, temperature controlled setting and allows the rodeo to continue rain or shine. The arena has plenty of stadium seating and standing room for onlookers to hoot and holler as youngsters from preschool age all the way up to 18 years exercise their cowboy skills. Events include fun demonstrations from all skills levels such as goat tying, Mutton Bustin', Barrels, Poles, Breakaway Steer Roping, and a Goat Ribbon Pull.

Your young-ins are invited to participate too, if you want. They don't even need their own horse. The only requirement to participate is traditional cowboy/cowgirl attire and boots. The organizers even waive the registration fee for anyone who attends the church service at Bar None prior to the rodeo. Services begin at 9:00am and usually go until about 10:30 with sweet sounding old-fashioned blue-grass hymns.

Entrance is totally FREE! For more information or to register your child or youth to participate in the event, call 870-481-5600.
