ATLANTA – R-Ranch 35th Anniversary Rodeo:

A very famous singer sang “This ain’t Texas…” – but it’s sure to sound a lot like the Lone Star State in North Georgia this weekend, thanks to the return of the rodeo!

The R-Ranch Rodeo – formerly known as the Mountain Top Rodeo – celebrates its 35th anniversary Friday and Saturday at R-Ranch in the Mountains, located in Lumpkin County. Organizers say the R-Ranch Rodeo is a highlight for competitors and performers on the rodeo circuit, with main events including steer wrestling, team roping, barrel racing and bareback bronc riding. . By the way, these riders and ropers are part of Charlie Lowry’s 4L and Diamond S Rodeo, based in Summerville. Oh, and you can’t have a rodeo without a rodeo clown, can you? Well, halftime entertainment for this rodeo will be provided by rodeo clown Dusty Myers!

Of course, the rodeo also gives people the opportunity to visit R-Ranch in the Mountains (65 R Ranch Road in Dahlonega), a family-friendly retreat located in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Founded in 1983 and located on a breathtaking 800 acres, the ranch features hundreds of RV sites and cabins, as well as a massive recreational lodge, swimming pool, fishing lakes, livestock deprived of horses and much more.

The R-Ranch Rodeo will run from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday evenings, with the midway opening at 6 p.m. — tickets at the door are $20 cash and free for children ages 6 years and younger. There is also a $5 parking fee, cash only. For more information on the big event, click here.
