Locals gathered on the Fourth of July for the 71st Woodside Junior Rodeo, sponsored by the Mounted Patrol of San Mateo County.
Along with traditional rodeo events, it featured pony rides, a petting zoo, a mechanical bull and a barbecue.
“Come out to support and cheer on a new generation of cowgirls, cowboys, and everyone in between for a day of rodeo action and western family activities!” organizers said before the event.
The grand entry procession featured the Mounted Patrol Color Guard, contestants and rodeo royalty from years past. Musician Sophia Claire performed the national anthem.
