During the recent Queen Creek Town Council meeting, the Friends of Horseshoe Park celebrated a significant achievement, being recognized as one of the top five small rodeos of the year by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). This accolade highlights the hard work and dedication of the volunteers and committee members who have organized the event for the past 14 years.

The recognition is particularly noteworthy as it places Horseshoe Park's rodeo alongside established events in larger cities like Prescott and Tucson, which have been running for decades. The award not only honors the rodeo itself but also emphasizes the importance of Horseshoe Park as a key venue in Queen Creek, shaping visitors' first impressions of the community.

The council expressed gratitude for the award and acknowledged the efforts of those involved in making the rodeo a success. This recognition is expected to enhance the town's reputation and attract more visitors to future events, further benefiting the local economy and community spirit.

In addition to the rodeo discussions, the meeting included various updates and community matters, but the spotlight remained on the achievement of the Friends of Horseshoe Park. As Queen Creek continues to grow, such recognitions play a vital role in fostering community pride and promoting local events that bring residents together.
