Arcadia Rodeo
Construction continues on the new rodeo facility. The side walls are now up and it looks like about a third of the roof has been covered. Some other structures are also being constructed.
Arcadia Update
I have heard a rumor that the barrel racing will move to the rodeo facility next summer. This means that the Turner Center will not automatically put dirt down at the beginning of the summer. Calusa is looking into the possibility of putting down artificial turf. Should be an improvement if it pans out.
AKC Agility Invitational
The AKC Agility Invitational will again be held in Orlando during December of next year.
