Buckin’ Good Time – Pocono Rodeo

Looking for a Buckin’ good time?

Strap on those cowboy boots partner and head over to Memorytown USA for the Pocono Rodeo!

Yes… you did read that correctly. The place is actually called Memorytown USA. Seriously! Could there be a better name?

And it is an actual Rodeo. The rides are Sebra Sanctioned and legit.

We recently took our little cowboy for his first Rodeo and it was a blast.

The Rodeo itself offers a bit of variety for all. The evening started with much fan fare including a small firework show, to our little cowboys utter enjoyment. Next they got straight to the action, bull riding! The night we attended had 8 Bull riders separated by an intermission. Was thrilling to watch these brave (crazy?) cowboys try to hold on to their bucking friends for the required 8 seconds. Beyond the bulls there were also barrel racers, trick riders, and performances. The jokester Roedo clown was also very entertaining and kept the audience engaged.

Memorytown USA is more than just a rodeo. Its quite an amazing place in the heart of the Poconos, and great for a family visit. During Rodeo Saturdays they offer pony rides, petting zoos, bouncy castles, and more. After the Rodeo there is live entertainment on stage.
