"This year's public-facing components — including the ProRodeo competitions, the fair (carnival, concerts, shopping areas, and stock shows), and the BBQ cook-off with its petting zoo and fireworks — have been canceled because the host site is being used as a distribution center for a local food bank; however, several private events (the junior livestock show, the agricultural mechanics competition, the Ultimate Scramble Championship, and the Youth Auction) will still proceed in March. The entire event had been canceled last year as well." - Nadia Chaudhury
