I grew up going to the Lehi roundup. I moved away for over 30 years and recently moved back. I bought a home in Lehi and that night I took my extended family to the rodeo. I was very excited to share it wit them. The the competitors were fantastic. However I was shocked at how raunchy the jokes were from the announcer and his sidekick clown during the entire evening. I called the city to discuss my concern and they referred me to the Civic Association that is responsible for the rodeo. The president does not answer his phone and has not set up voicemail.

Sometimes rodeos can take a long time and don't move along in a timely manner. Great professionalism in the announcer and main rodeo clown. We had a great time! The only reason it isn't 5 stars is the venue itself. They really need to expand and upgrade but I wouldn't spend a dime in that location next to the train tracks. The front runner train was ok but the other trains were pretty loud. I never realized the tracks were literally next to the rodeo grounds. I'm not sure what they do without building an arena...
