We are honored to have the opportunity to represent McCormick County Emergency Services at the Sandy Oaks Pro Rodeo! 🤠🚑🚒

And let’s talk about a heck of a show they put on! From the moment the gates opened, the energy was incredible. The action, the atmosphere, the crowd, and the entertainment all came together for an outstanding night of rodeo right here in our community.

It’s always a privilege for us to get out of the station and be a part of events that bring our community together. Our crews are proud to represent McCormick County and be there to support the folks who make events like this possible.

A huge thank you to Sandy Oaks Pro Rodeo for having McCormick County Emergency Services out tonight. We truly appreciate the opportunity to be a part of it, and we hope everyone who came out had as much fun as we did!

If you haven’t made it out to one of their rodeos, you’re definitely missing out. What a show! 🤠🐎🇺🇸
