Newsboy photo/ Charles Kerr READY TO RODEO? Betty Glenn and Pam Hamilton started selling tickets at the Coca-Cola anniversary celebration last Friday, but "official" sales begin this Friday, April 27, at noon in the ticket office next to Baskin's on U.S. Highway 96 North.

The first 50 customers who line up at the ticket office at noon this Friday, April 27, get a bonus, according to Lion's Club rodeo chair Scott Burton.

The first 50 who purchase tickets will receive a George Strait CD, and the first 50 (whether buying tickets or a rodeo t-shirt) are eligible for a drawing for a George Strait life-size poster.

After April 27, the ticket office will be open 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday - Saturday.
