Welcome Challenge of Champions CHSRA Championship Rodeo

What an honor it is for us to host the 2009 Challenge of Champions, the California High School Rodeo Association State-Wide Championship Rodeo March 20 through March 22, 2009. Once again the historic Benny Brown Arena and the Amador County Fairground and Events Center will be energized with these talented young men and women.

We salute the efforts of the parents, officials, friends, sponsors and relatives who give of themselves to help our youth. As everyone knows, fast times and high scores don’t “just happen”. So, to those behind the scenes who don’t get the buckle, a tip of the hat. This is truly the foundation from which this great nation was built upon.

Oh behalf of the Amador County Fair Board of Directors, management and staff we wish you the best of luck, blue skies, warm temperatures and a fast arena.
