Bobby Kerr to headline Spanish Fork Fiesta Days Rodeo amid local excitement

The Spanish Fork City Council meeting on July 1, 2025, highlighted preparations for the upcoming Fiesta Days Rodeo, featuring renowned Mustang trainer Bobby Kerr. Kerr, a celebrated figure in the rodeo community and a member of the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, is set to perform after previously canceling due to health issues. His appearance is anticipated as he nears retirement, making this a significant event for local rodeo fans.

During the meeting, Fiesta Days royalty, including Queen Rachel Whitehead and Second Attendant Hadley Davis, expressed their excitement about participating in the rodeo. They emphasized their roles in engaging with the community, particularly with young fans, by signing autographs and participating in various rodeo activities.

Ticket availability was a key topic, with officials noting that most tickets have sold out quickly since their release in April. They cautioned attendees to purchase tickets only through the official website to avoid inflated prices from resellers. A limited number of tickets may be released closer to the event if contestants do not use their reserved tickets.

City officials also addressed traffic and parking concerns during the rodeo, advising attendees to utilize a newly constructed parking lot south of the fairgrounds. This lot offers convenient access and is expected to alleviate congestion on Main Street. Public safety measures will be in place, with local organizations assisting in parking management.

The meeting concluded with a reminder for residents to be patient during the busy rodeo week and to enjoy the festivities while respecting the community. The Fiesta Days Rodeo is set to begin on Saturday, July 19, and run through Thursday, July 24, promising a week of excitement for residents and visitors alike.
