| POTTER VALLEY RODEO |
Potter Valley Community Expo, Inc. is an all volunteer non-profit organization that was formed
in 1976. Since then the annual rodeo has been produced at various locations around the valley.
Currently the proceeds that we receive from the Memorial Day Weekend go back to the
community. In past years our organization has assisted in funding various projects for the Potter
Valley Private School, Potter Valley Elementary School and Potter Valley Volunteer Fire
Department. Potter Valley Community Expo, Inc. also offers a yearly scholarship awarded to a
graduating Potter Valley High School Senior.
Today, the profits that we receive from the Memorial Day Weekend festivities go toward the
development and establishment of the Potter Valley Community Parks and Recreation
property. This property is not only the location of our rodeo grounds, but will also have a
community building, county park and softball/soccer fields. Our dream of having a permanent
rodeo grounds, in addition to a centralized location for our youth and community members to
use and enjoy, is slowly becoming reality as we continue our fundraising efforts.
Along with producing the annual rodeo, we began holding a yearly memorial Team Penning and
Barrel Racing 2004 in honor of our friend Lisa Christofferson who was tragically taken from us
in 2003. In 2010 the board of directors decided to develop it into a series of four gymkhanas, the
first one starting Memorial Day and ending with the last one in August. One hundred percent of
the proceed from the August Gymkhana go to the Lisa Christofferson Memorial Youth
Scholarship Fund to assist local youth in financial hardship with expenses related to various
extra-curricular activities such as camps, sports and 4-H.
