DELAWARE/MARYLAND - Saddle up! It's time to solidify those weekend plans. There are plenty of places that will keep you warm indoors, but other events will allow you to immerse yourself in nature.

LONE STAR RODEO

For the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center, it isn't their first rodeo. The Lone Star Rodeo is a tradition of 25 years and counting. It offers bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, calf roping, breakaway roping, team roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing and bull riding. There's even a best-dressed contest for cowboys and cowgirls who are 10 and younger.

The kid’s events kick off at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.WicomicoCivicCenter.org, by calling 410-548-4911, or in person at the box office. 

Organizers say it takes over 100 truckloads of dirt to prepare the Civic Center for both the Lone Star Rodeo and the No Limits Monster & Thrill Show that takes place the following weekend.
