The
first Pioneer City Rodeo was held forty-four years ago on a
baseball field in Leaverton Park. The old wooden seats purchased
then held only
about 3,000 spectators and the ball field lights provided illumination
for the night performances. Prize money that first year was $1,500.00.
After two successful years, the Pioneer City Arena was constructed.
The newly developed Super Sports Lighter Floodlights were installed
and to this day no better lighting has been found. The purse that
year was doubled to $3,000.
Since that time, several improvements
have been made to the Pioneer City Arena. Additional ground was purchased
increasing the parking area. The old wooden seats have been replaced
with aluminum seating providing room for more than 6,500 fans. The campground
area has been added for the convenience of the fans and a few years ago,
showers and new restroom facilities were added. The Palestine Chamber
of
Commerce, the Pioneer City Arena Committee, and the people of Palestine
are dedicated to making our Bull Bash and Labor Day Festival the best
to be found. Towards that goal, we are always happy to hear the ideas
and
suggestions
of our visitors.
