Clear your calendars, rodeo fans — two of Fortuna Rodeo's most popular events are raring to go this weekend.  First out of the gate is the crowd pleasing Bullfighters Only/Quadiators show on Friday, July 16 at the Fortuna Rodeo Grounds ($25, $15 under 12, $40 VIP arena seating). Gates open at 5:30 p.m. to see these professional athletes take on some burly bulls.
Saturday, July 17, it’s big time action with bull and bronc riding, plus mutton bustin’ and steer ridin’ for the kids at Bulls, Broncs, Bands & Brews ($10, $5 children 12 and under). Live music by Lone Star Junction will get your spurs jangling and the good folks at Eel River Brewing and Humboldt Beer Distributors will make sure your whistle’s wet. Gates are at 6 p.m. Tickets for both nights are available at www.fortunarodeo.com.
