About 1,000 cowboys and girls from across the country participated in the second annual Liberty Stampede, hosted by the Liberty Gay Rodeo Association, last weekend. The rodeo competitions kicked off Saturday at Lulu Shriners Rodeo Grounds, but Sunday’s events had to be cancelled because of stormy weather. However, the two weekend dances went off without a hitch. Despite the rain, rodeo co-director Jim Gallucci said the event was a success, with “nothing but compliments” coming from guests and the International Gay Rodeo Association’s board of trustees, who hosted their board meeting in the city last Friday.
