Bancroft Rodeo Schedule unchanged by Fire; Fireworks at 9:30 p.m.

As of press time, Bancroft Rodeo and Pioneer Day Parade organizers say that there will not be any changes to the schedule, listed below.  Despite the fires in downtown Bancroft, the Lions Den (where the breakfast is scheduled to be held) was largely undamaged, and none of the structures involved in the day’s events were affected.  In what will surely be an emotional day, the community is invited to come show their support for the city of Bancroft and its residents on July 24!

McKayla McLain of the Bancroft Rodeo Committee notes: “This is the 127th Consecutive Year of the Bancroft Pioneer Day Rodeo. We even rodeoed through Covid. Our stock contractor is Wayne Hebdon with Diamond H Stock. Wayne’s grandfather was raised and farmed in Chesterfield. The Rodeo is put on by 100% donations and 100% volunteers. We couldn’t put on this rodeo without all our help and sponsors. Some of the Rodeo Members have even been on the committee since 1961. It’s a home of lots of reunions, family and school. People plan on coming back years in advance and we hope to always be able to put on this memorable event.”
