The inaugural Keath Killebrew Memorial Rodeo, presented by the Killebrew Ag Foundation, took place on July 28-29 at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson to benefit scholarships for aspiring young farmers.
The rodeo featured a series of action-packed events including bull riding, broncs, calf roping, barrel racing, and much more. Country music sensations and Mississippi natives Chapel Hart performed as part of the festivities on opening night.
