CHELSEA <\/b>\u2013 On a holiday weekend with chills beginning to fill the air, residents of the city of Chelsea came together with smiles and cheers as the fourth annual Bikes 4 Kids PCA Rodeo was put on.<\/p>\n
The rodeo, which took place on Halloween on Friday, Oct. 31 and Saturday, Nov. 1 in the field behind the new ALDI, brought people in for a couple of nights out, enjoying the entertainment while embracing the changing of the seasons.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe feel like the rodeo is an important event for the community to enjoy,\u201d said Charlie Bradford, founder and director of Bikes 4 Kids. \u201cIt brings families together for good, clean Christian fun. The kids really enjoy it, and that\u2019s what we love the most is getting the kids involved.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the holiday weekend was a unique time for the rodeo to take place, Bradford still feels that the event had a good turnout, being low on Halloween but extremely high at the Saturday showing.<\/p>\n
Bradford went to the Chelsea City Council four years ago in 2022 in order to garner support to put on the event. Since then, he emphasizes that it has been a growing success and an event that the residents love.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means the world to us to have the city of Chelsea on board,\u201d Bradford said. \u201cWhen I approached the City Council four years ago about the rodeo, a few members were skeptical, but after a few more council meetings, we were able to get it up and going and the community proved that it is just what Chelsea needed for a fall event.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bikes 4 Kids PCA Rodeo included a number of the classic rodeo events, including bareback riding, steer wrestling, saddle bronc, tie-down roping, Ranch bronc riding, team roping, break away roping, barrel racing and bull riding. The rodeo also kicked off by getting kids involved in the annual mutton bustin\u2019 event, where kids competed to see how long they can ride on the back of a sheep.<\/p>\n
All of the proceeds from the event went towards a good cause, as the money is used to go directly to Bikes 4 Kids and its Christmas program, providing bicycles for underprivileged kids across the Southeast.<\/p>\n
In addition, former Chelsea Mayor Tony Picklesimer served as the rodeo\u2019s grand marshal, which Bradford organized as a bout of appreciation for his service to the city as its leader.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy favorite part was honoring our previous mayor Tony Picklesimer,\u201d Bradford said. \u201cI generally love the mutton bustin\u2019, but honoring Tony and seeing him get emotional over it and speaking to the crowd was a great thing and his whole family was present.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the rodeo having wrapped up and been another big success within the city, the plans begin for next year\u2019s edition.<\/p>\n
It is event that Bradford has a deep passion for, and knows he wants to make it as vibrant as possible for the city\u2019s residents to enjoy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe positive we\u2019ll carry to our 2026 rodeo I think will be to learn more about our community on a more personal level and begin to let the community get involved more with the event itself,\u201d Bradford said. \u201cWe\u2019re passionate about giving back to the kids and loving our community and local communities as well. The rodeo is a big event that continues to grow and we give all the glory to God for blessing us with such a loving community.\u201d<\/p>\n
