R-Ranch Rodeo - The 27th Annual Mountain Top Rodeo will be a highlight on the Rodeo circuit not only for all the competitive action, but also for the breathtaking beauty of it’s North Georgia Mountain location.  There will be non-stop action, hilarious antics, and more fun than you can handle!  Today's professional rodeo holds a distinct position in the world of modern sports having come directly from a working-lifestyle. Early rodeo began as the everyday chores of working ranches on the great plains of the American West.  These chores would eventually evolve into the unique rodeo events that we enjoy today.
