David Adam Byrnes plans to party June 23 after Rodeo of the Ozarks
Now in its 78th year, the Rodeo of the Ozarks runs June 21-24 at Parsons Stadium in Springdale. Founded in 1944 by Shorty Parsons, the rodeo was intended to offer entertainment to the community during World War II -- bands played, fiddlers fiddled, there were potato sack races and pie eating contests and the Fourth of July was celebrated.
