BENTON, COLUMBIA COUNTY- They were bronco bustin' in Columbia County one last day on Sunday. The 25th year of the Benton Rodeo wrapped up this weekend.

Cowboys from all over the country compete in roping competitions and barrel races. They ride everything from broncs to bulls.

There's a lot to do at the rodeo. Brian Bower of the Benton Rodeo Association said, "WeÕve got vendors selling cowboy hats, boots, anything pertaining to the rodeo, even toy horses, all kinds of stuff for the kids."

Most of the food stands are run by Benton community organizations. And they were selling everything from french fries to pizza.
