Some of the best bovine athletes and broncs were on display at the Wetumpka Sports Complex on Friday, April 30, and Saturday, May 1, for the third annual Wetumpka FFA Alumni Championship Rodeo.

“This rodeo was a huge success for not only the school and the FFA organization, but also for the city of Wetumpka,” said FFA Alumni Chapter President William Pierce. “This year’s rodeo was about 50 percent larger, as far as the crowd goes, than any of the previous two rodeos. Over the course of the weekend, we had 7,000 to 8,000 attendees enter the gates. Saturday night was a sellout.”
