Rodeo Returns to D.C. This Week for USA 250th Celebration

The American rodeo is set to return to the nation's capital starting this week as part of celebrations marking the United States' 250th anniversary, in what organizers say will be the first presidential-era rodeo in Washington in more than four decades, the Washington Examiner reported on Monday.

Freedom 250, an organization affiliated with President Donald Trump's semiquincentennial initiatives, is spearheading Rodeo 250, a showcase planned for the National Mall during the Great American State Fair from June 25 through July 10.

The event will be led by Cervi Championship Rodeo and is designed to highlight the history and cultural legacy of the American cowboy as the nation commemorates 250 years of independence.
