Tough Enough to Wear Pink Rodeo

Pack it with pink Friday night, July 23, 2010! The Kaw Valley Rodeo Association will once again host the Tough Enough to Wear Pink rodeo during the Riley County Fair, to raise awareness of breast and other cancers, and funds for cancer research at K-State.

Rodeo participants and spectators alike wear pink to honor cancer survivors, who are recognized during the grand entry. Hundreds of pink balloons will be launched into the evening sky. Even the horses will be wearing pink!
