The California Rodeo at Salinas
What else can be said this is a big deal in Monterey County and some call it Rodeo with a long E but in Monterey County they call it Rodeo with a long A where that last E is. The locals call it RodAo like that. This is one of the biggest events in Monterey County. You will see every cowboy and cowgirl in the are and many who are not even cowboys come out for the rodeo.
