PSU Intl Students at Molalla Buckaroo Rodeo

buckeroo-001July 4th Kathy and I coordinate a day trip for 50 international students and scholars to enjoy the Molalla Buckeroo 4th of July Rodeo and Parade. This has been an annual event for the past 5 or 6 years.

Our volunteers will meet early in the morning picking up small groups of students for transportation and to act as friendship hosts during the community parade and rodeo.

We all take extra picnic food to share a lunch together at the park next to the Rodeo entrance.  It’s always a great time for all!

If you live in Portland and are interested in serving a driver for some of our students please contact us for more details.
