Last weekend, nearly 400 children, ages 5 to 17, showed their cowboy spirit at the Hawai’i Keiki Rodeo at the Pana‘ewa Equestrian Center.

The event, which was organized by the Hawai’i Keiki Rodeo Association, was in preparation for the upcoming finals scheduled for April 13th, 2024.

During the event, the Hawai’i Police Activities League (HI-PAL) provided several custom engraved Hydro-Flasks to contestants, while Community Policing Officers issued Keiki identification cards for children.

Numerous local businesses played a role in sponsoring the event, including HPM, Kai’s Trucking, the Rodney Wilbur Ohana, Benny’s Mobile, the Benevides Family Ranch, C&K Trucking, Hawai’i Community Federal Credit Union, Burke Services, Bradda Pops, Wailama Lei Hat CO., K&H Unlimited, Karratti Ranch Services, the Camacho Ohana, N.
