New to rodeo? Allow us to show you the ropes!

The Georgia National Rodeo consists of competitions in seven categories:

Saddle Bronc Riding is Rodeo's "classic" event with the rider working to time their spurring action with the animal's bucking.

During Bareback Riding, competitors ride without the aid of rein or saddle and, using only a one hand grip, attempt to stay on the horse.

In Tie-Down Roping, the rider works to lasso the calf from horseback by throwing a loop of rope around the calf's neck and Team Roping consists of two people competing together to catch a steer for time.

With a single hand grip, Bull Riding competitors fight to stay on the bull for at least eight seconds while the bull spins and bucks.

Steer Wrestling, pictured below, involves calculatedly wrangling a steer to the ground from horseback.

In Barrel Racing, the horse and rider work together to follow a pattern with barrel turns, competing for the fastest time.

Middle Georgia’s first cat cafe has officially opened in Perry! You may be asking - Just what exactly is a Cat Cafe? Picture an inviting space where patrons can enjoy coffee and cuddles with adoptable cats! During their first month of operation, the cafe helped generate more than a dozen adoptions - including the adoption of one cat who had been with a rescue since 2022!

Partnering with three regional rescues, the cafe can host cats, each with their own unique story and personality, and help lighten the load for our local shelters.

While the primary mission of the cafe is to help match people with the purr-fect companion, the cafe is open to anyone who enjoys spending time with feline friends, even if you are not currently looking to adopt.

The Paws Awhile Cat Cafe is located in the Perry Plaza on Macon Road alongside local favorites like Yoder’s Sandwich Shoppe and Skipper John’s. The cafe serves a variety of bites and beverages, including treats from another Houston County small business, Woodlands Coffee Roasters & Cafe.
