Rain bucks Sunday rodeo before the buzzer sounds

The 79th Wimberley VFW Fourth of July Rodeo trudged through last weekend despite the rainy and muddy conditions.

The longest running rodeo in Hays County is an annual tradition in Wimberley, attracting some of the best cow- boys and cowgirls from across the state.

On Sunday, rain began to fall, cancelling the 7 p.m. performance. This year’s rodeo is a part of the new Triple Crown Series, involving the Stonewall Peach Jamboree and the Taylor Rodeo, with the overall winners being awarded the Sheridan Trophy Saddles.
