Summer’s Not Over Yet: Upcoming Events

It might seem like summer flew by, and the past few months sure have been a whirlwind of fun festivals, parades, and more, but there is still more to come! Check out our upcoming events, we hope to see you there!

Kitsap County Rodeo – Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night

When: Friday, August 23 at 6:30pm

Where: Kitsap County Fairgrounds – Thunderbird Stadium

What: Come enjoy the Kitsap County Rodeo/Stampede during the Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night! The Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign was first introduced at the 2004 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo when breast cancer survivor, Terry Wheatley asked her son, team roper Wade Wheatley, to wear a pink shirt at one performance. Wade convinced his fellow contestants to join him, so Wrangler Jeans and Shirts quickly produced enough pink shirts for every NFR contestant. To encourage the contestants to support the campaign, the committees gave $100 to a contestant that won his/her event if they were wearing a pink shirt. The campaign took off from there and fans as well started wearing pink shirts on the designated “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” night. Show your support by sporting your favorite pink shirt!
