One of June's signature events in the area, the 2020 Hawley American Heroes PRCA Rodeo, was canceled this week according to a notice posted on the organization's Facebook page.

Another event associated with Hawley's Rodeo Fest week, Hawley Lions Club's 30th Annual Breakfast on the Farm, has also been canceled. The event had been scheduled for May 30.

Detroit Lakes' Double S Arena, however, is still going ahead with plans to host a rodeo in August — at least for now, according to organizer Jessica Metry. The Fourth Annual Double S Rodeo is set for Friday and Saturday, Aug. 14-15, with events including bareback bronc riding, bull riding, barrel racing, steer wrestling and more — capped off by a live performance from the band Silverado.

Visit doublesarena.com for details, or contact Metry at 218-234-7491 or jessicametry@gmail.com .
