Big Crowds For Pierson Rodeo: Results Here

    Large crowds flocked to Pierson over the weekend, when the Pierson Lions Club hosted its 71st Annual Pierson Lions Club Rodeo. A full slate of rodeo action awaited the standing-room-only crowd that gathered to witness the awarding of over $16,000 in prize funds.
   On Friday night, a special veteran recognition was held, with those who have served in the US military invited into the ring for a moment of appreciation.
