The rodeo returned to the Dublin City Park Arena Friday and Saturday night thanks to many local sponsors and the organization of Diamond Cross Rodeo. The Saturday event began with a special 9/11 recognition of local first responders in attendance as well as those who lost their lives 20 years before in the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001. The flag presentation and prayer was organized in conjunction with Dublin’s National Health and Public Safety History Museum. The event also included a lot of rodeo action, a wild calf scramble organized in cooperation with Dublin FFA, a mutton bustin’ event for kids and concessions. Diamond Cross pledged that a portion of proceeds raised through the rodeo will go back to the community in scholarships and helping local organizations. Cierra Hawk | special to the Citizen
