Whether you’re a seasoned cowboy or just looking for some family-friendly fun, this year’s Ray White Nambour Rodeo promises non-stop action and entertainment for all ages.

The rodeo, at the Nambour Showgrounds on Saturday 11 May,  features a full rodeo program of popular events: bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, steer wrestling, team roping, barrel racing and much more.

Ray White Nambour Principal Matt O’Grady said last year’s rodeo, in just its third year, raised a remarkable $97,773 for Nambour community groups. 

Money was shared between Reimagine Nambour, Nambour Tramway Company, Sundale Community Foundation and Nambour Men’s Shed.

Mr O’Grady said he was proud to support Nambour’s development through the funding. 

“This is exactly what we envisaged for this rodeo,” he said. “The rodeo brings the community together. The money is for people that are on the streets doing the work. And the funds go to the people that need it. That’s what we want to see.”

Each year increasing numbers reflect the rodeo’s growing popularity, with ticket sales last year reaching 3983.

Ticket sales data revealed that 84 percent of attendees were from outside Nambour, highlighting the event’s ability to draw people to town.

Mr O’Grady thanked sponsors, including Cricks, Mackellar, Snap Fitness, Done & Dusted, Ray White Commercial, Cronau Enterprises and Mason Finance Group, as well as the  volunteers.
