April 15, 2009 (Lakeside) The 45th annual Lakeside Rodeo has gained national exposure over the last 44 years, from a small hometown event to being named the International Professional Rodeo Association Rodeo (IPRA) of the year FOUR times! Events include bull-riding, bareback bronc, steer wrestling, team riding, and more. The annual Lakeside Rodeo held every April is the largest fundraiser for the El Capitan Stadium Association.
The El Capitan Stadium Association raises money for Lakeside schools’ curriculum, sports groups, reading programs, school facilities, and for other local nonprofit organizations that need financial support. On the average, the ECSA donates more then $100,000 a year to the community. Money is raised from the annual Lakeside Rodeo, concerts, catering dinners and ground rentals. The grounds are used for the Miss Rodeo Lakeside Pageant, Lakeside Chili Cook off, weddings, BMX bicycle races, team penning and barrel racing exhibitions, fairs and other community events. The three-day rodeo will be held on Friday, April 24th starting at 7:30 p.m., on Saturday the 25th at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and on Sunday the 26th at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at the Boot Barn in El Cajon and Kearny Mesa, as well as at the Lakeside Rodeo Grounds.
