With three days of competitive events – from barrel racing to team roping and bull riding - last weekend’s Canyonlands PRCA Rodeo continued a tradition in Moab that’s lasted over half a century. The nonprofit’s effort to host the rodeo is notable, especially as Moab’s agricultural heritage is replaced with tourism and growth. In the stands, the old world blended with the new - Moab families mingled with European tourists, and all seemed to have a great time.
