MSU launches its annual spring Rodeo Week, which precedes the university’s popular spring rodeo, with a horseback promenade by MSU rodeo athletes on MSU’s Centennial Mall beginning at noon Wednesday, April 5.
Head coach Andy Bolich will lead his cowboys and cowgirls on the ride, a colorful new MSU tradition, at Hannon Hall on the northeast edge of campus, down MSU’s Centennial Mall, past Montana Hall with a final destination of Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. The locations may be found on MSU’s online map.
The ride will make excellent photographs and video for your readers and viewers. For more information, contact Duane Morris, director of MSU’s Event Services Division at (406) 994-1831 Office; (406) 581-2692, cell; or email dmorris@montana.edu.
