Welcome to the Whip Crackin' Rodeo

We're building on the success of last year's event, and have a lot of exciting enhancements for the 4th Annual Charity Whip Crackin' Rodeo - at the James E. Ward Ag Center (Wilson County Fairgrounds), for two nights - Friday and Saturday, April 26th-27th.

In addition to another GREAT rodeo put on by Lone Star Rodeo Company, we're also featuring a great Outdoor Show this year! Get lots of ideas for enhancing your outdoor life - from campers and boats to patios and outdoor living ideas! Don't forget to support all of our sponsors - they're help and generosity is a huge part of making this a successful and fun event for our community!

The new covered pavilion will become the home of this eight event professional rodeo, presented by Mayor Philip Craighead and Lone Star Rodeo Company - the premiere rodeo company of the Southeast.

We would like to thank you for your support of last year's 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 also 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
