True grit on display at Burnet County Rodeo

Mud flew, boots stomped, and rodeo fans filled the stands as the 60th Annual Burnet County Rodeo returned to the Burnet County Fairgrounds Friday and Saturday night for a weekend packed with tradition, competition, and community celebration.

Gates opened each evening at 5:30 p.m., giving attendees time to visit local vendors set up beneath the stands before the rodeo action kicked off at 8 p.m.

But long before the first bull burst from the chute, the youngest cowboys and cowgirls took center stage during the popular Mutton Bustin’ heats. Winners from each heat earned a free pair of boots courtesy of Blair’s Western Wear.
