Crandall Brothers Trucking (http://crandellbros.com/) will haul in yards upon yards of dirt into the arena at the Eaton County Fairgrounds where they and M.T. Bell Excavating will create the perfect Rodeo turf. The livestock begins to arrive at their temporary home on Friday, September 9th and there’s no BULL about that!

KENNY SCHAPPACHER TO ENTERTAIN Kenny Schappacher is a man with many amazing talents. Growing up involved in his parents' Wild West Show, Kenny became familiar with performing in the big arena at a very early age. Kenny did his first act in the show when he was 9 years old. By the age of 13, Kenny had mastered the extreme art of the Western Bullwhips, a skill which was handed down to him by his mother who was an accomplished bullwhip and trick rope artist. Kenny is known as one of the fastest bullwhip crackers on the road today. Cutting targets from his assistant's hand or trying to hit a moving target are just some of the amazing tricks you might see him do. Kenny has been a rodeo clown and barrelman for most of his rodeo career. Clowning pro rodeos and pro bull riding events from as far south as Florida and north as Canada, Kenny enjoys entertaining crowds with his unique and original comedy acts.

Jerry Belles to announce 2011 Charlotte Frontier Days Rodeo

Rodeo is Jerry’s life!  He knows a rodeo arena from one end to the other.  He has been involved in almost every aspect of rodeo production, plus he has successfully competed in every event in rodeo.  His extensive knowledge of the sport is probably what makes him one of the most sought after announcers in the business.

HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS…IT’S RODEO TIME!
