The President of the Junction City Rodeo Association, Darryl Blocker was happy with the crowd during night one of the Junction City Rodeo Friday.

Blocker felt that the cooler temperatures later in the evening helped bring more people out.

“Overall we had a few shady things at the beginning, but the weather was pretty cooperative with the cloud cover. I thought we had a great crowd for as hot as it was,” said Blocker.

There weren’t any major problems reported with night one, besides one bull rider that was transported to Geary Community Hospital with a possible head injury after being bucked off early in his ride.

The Rodeo will kick off again Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Geary County Fairgrounds located just off Spring Valley Road on Junction City’s west side.
