It's Rodeo Time Again In Gerry By PAUL COOLEY  These horses were relaxing at the Gerry Rodeo grounds before having six performances in five days at the annual Gerry Rodeo that begins tonight. 8/8/2007 - Anyone driving past the Gerry Rodeo Grounds a couple of days ago might have thought that the signs advertising the 63rd annual PRCA rodeo slated for tonight through Sunday had the incorrect date as the place was nearly deserted. Only a dozen or so vehicles were there as a few firemen were putting the final bolts into the new bleachers and adding fresh paint to some of the buildings at their arena. Now, only hours before the opening performance at 8 p.m., the entire scene has changed and the rodeo grounds is a small city on wheels. Semi trucks have delivered the bucking chutes along with more than 110 head of bulls and horses.
