The stakes are a little higher when the Bounty Bull enters the arena! If the cowboy can hang on for eight seconds and make a qualified ride, there’s more than bragging rights waiting on the other side. 🤠💵

Helping us add a little extra excitement to the 4th Annual Newton County Rodeo is Fidelity Bank, formerly Newton Federal, our Bounty Bull Sponsor!

Fidelity Bank may have a new name, but they’re still part of the community we know and appreciate. We’re grateful for their support of the Newton County Rodeo and the youth and agricultural programs our event helps make possible throughout the year.

So when that Bounty Bull comes flying out of the chute, keep your eyes on the clock. Eight seconds could be worth a whole lot more! 👀⏱️🐂

And speaking of putting your money somewhere worthwhile… rodeo tickets are ON SALE NOW!

Rodeo night takes a whole lot of horsepower and we’re not just talking about the kind with four legs!

A big thank you goes to The Meat House Covington, our Contestant Meal Sponsor for the 4th Annual Newton County Rodeo!

While our contestants are busy traveling, preparing, competing, and putting on one heck of a show for Newton County, The Meat House is helping make sure they don’t have to do it on an empty stomach.

We appreciate The Meat House for stepping up to feed the cowboys and cowgirls who make our rodeo possible. When local businesses support the rodeo, we hope our rodeo fans will return the favor and support the businesses that support us! ❤️

Now, we can’t promise you a contestant meal… 😂 but we CAN promise two nights of professional rodeo action!

When a cowboy hits the dirt, our bullfighters don’t have time to think twice. They step between the rider and a whole lot of horns, muscle, and attitude—and we’re thankful to have the Covington Lions Club sponsoring the bullfighters who help keep our cowboys safe!
