Welcome to the Whip Crackin' Rodeo


We would like to thank you for your support of our 3rd Annual Charity Whip Crackin’ Rodeo.

With the help of our sponsors and with the help of dozens of other volunteers, we were able to present a top quality event to the citizens of Lebanon.

We made an impact on our economy and were able to support our local charities to a tune of over $43,000!

We were able to provide over 250 special needs children with a very special day of activities and enjoyment. The experience included lots of games and prizes. They got to see ESPN’s Omega Force strongman show and the performance of the Coppertown Clown with man’s best friend, the rescue dogs known as the Mutley Crew. The kids had the opportunity to rid horses, pet numerous farm animals, and see a few of the events which are held during the rodeo. Michelle Hill’s Empower Me Day Camp was on hand to make sure the Special Events Day was well organized and a huge success. Michellee ads that special touch to any event.

We also had a special guest – to the delight of all – the Nashville Predator’s mascot “GNASH!”

Thank you once again for caring about your community by supporting us in this effort. We have plans already in the works to attract more people to the event next year, which will generate more dollars to help those who need a hand up.

Sincerely,
Mayor Philip Craighead
