St. Jude's 11th Annual Rodeo is set for a three-night run Aug. 7-9 at Yates Farm in Ringgold. Yates Farm has been the site for the St. Jude Rodeo since 1998, and for the past seven years, the National Cowboys Association named the St. Jude Rodeo as "Rodeo of the Year."

The Yates family donates 100 percent of proceeds to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.

Stop by any Northwest Georgia Bank, make a $1 donation or more to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and receive a boot pin-up for half-off admission to the St. Jude Rodeo on Thursday, Aug. 7.

"I've been associated with the St. Jude Rodeo since its inception and watched it grow from just a few rodeo fans in a field at Yates Farm to one of the largest and best run rodeos in the country," said Sammy George, vice president-business development, Northwest Georgia Bank. "I'm most happy about the money we raise every year in support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital."

Other sponsors include the Miller Family Foundation, CVS Pharmacy, Dodge, WTVC NewsChannel 9, US101, Williams Co., MHC Kenworth-Chattanooga, Rush Truck Center-Peterbilt, Fairway Outdoor Advertising, Comcast, Steven M. Henry Construction, and Freightliner of Chattanooga.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for children ages 6-12. Children under free are free. For more information about the rodeo, call 800-407-2371.

To reach Yates Farm take exit 348 off I-75 in Ringgold. Head south on Ga. Highway 151 toward LaFayette. Yates Farm is six miles from I-75 on the right.
