Pioneer City Rodeo
- About
This Palestine rodeo is held at Pioneer City Arena.
- History
- The first Pioneer City Rodeo was held fifty-three years ago on a baseball field in Leaverton Park. The old wooden seats purchased then held only about 3,000 spectators and the ball field lights provided illumination for the night performances. Prize money the first year was $1,500.00. After two successful years, the Pioneer City Arena was constructed. The newly developed Super Sports Lighter Floodlights were installed and to this day no better lighting has been found. The purse that year was doubled to $3,000.
