69th Annual Gerry Rodeo

Gerry Rodeo

2013 Gerry Rodeo

69th Annual Rodeo July 31 – August 3, 2013

  • Wednesday thru Saturday Performances  8:00 P.M.
  • Saturday Afternoon Performance  2:00 P.M.
  • Our Famous Beef BBQ Dinners each evening  5:00-7:30 P.M.

The 69th annual Gerry Volunteer Fire Department’s PRCA rodeo promises to be bigger and better than ever as approximately 130 professional cowboys and cowgirls will compete for more than $35,000 in the seven competitive events of rodeo. Add to that an afternoon show on Saturday, the specialty acts of clown and barrel man Dusty Barrett and his Roman Riding Ponies, the return of Greg Simas, one of rodeo’s top announcers to direct the action in the arena, and more than 100 head of outstanding stock provided by Painted Pony Pro Rodeo and you’ll understand why this rodeo is now the longest consecutively running rodeo east of the Mississippi.

Adding to the Gerry Rodeo’s great reputation, the cowboys of the First Frontier Rodeo Circuit, made up of the original 13 Colonies, recently voted Gerry as their favorite rodeo out of the 45 rodeos held in the Circuit last year.

Happy Birthday, Gary Gygax!

Ernest Gary Gygax (July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008 ) was an American writer and game designer, best known for co-creating the pioneering role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) with Dave Arneson, and co-founding the company Tactical Studies Rules (TSR) with Don Kaye in 1974. Gygax is generally acknowledged as the father of the role-playing game.

Man escapes grizzly attack with .25 cal pistol

This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a man

with an “itsy bitsy shooter” facing a fierce predator.

25 cal. Beretta Jetfire

25 cal. Beretta Jetfire

Here’s his story:

While out hiking in Alberta Canada with my wife, we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging at us from out of nowhere.  She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive.  If I had not had my little 25 cal. Beretta Jetfire with me, I would not be here today!  Just one shot to my wife’s knee cap was all it took.  The bear got her and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace.  It’s one of the best pistols in my collection.
