Sonora, CA — There are some new happenings planned at this year’s Mother Lode Roundup.
The event, highlighted by the parade and two-day rodeo, will be on May 10-11. It always occurs on Mother’s Day weekend. There are also lead-up events like this Saturday’s Great Steak BBQ at the Posse grounds, the Tuolumne County Band Review (May 7), and the Queen Coronation/Calcutta (May 8).
A new development this year is that the rodeo will air nationally on The Cowboy Channel.
Mother Lode Views this weekend will feature a preview of the Roundup with Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Posse members Tim Orpurt, Mike Suess, and Dan Durnall.
They will also talk about who this year’s queen candidates are and highlight community members who are receiving special recognition.
Mother Lode Views airs Saturday and Sunday morning at 9:30 on AM 1450 and FM 102.7 KVML. Mother Lode Views can also be heard Sunday morning at 10 o’clock on 93.5 KKBN and at 9 a.m. on STAR 92.7.
