Painted Pony Championship Rodeo

Great food and SO entertaining! We came from NJ to enjoy and it did not disappoint!
The BBQ was full and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the bred and butter, cookies, watermelon, cole slaw and ribs. My boyfriend are so much and went back for seconds. We were full and ready for the rodeo!
The rodeo itself was awesome– from barrel racing to bull riding, it’s all here! The seats were uncomfortable after an hour and a half, but bring a blanket or pillow to sit on and problem averted! Great fun crowd and you even get to participate.
Lost a star because the clown made an unnecessary joke about Chinese food and a little Chinese girl and her mom got up to leave. I’m all for jokes, but I found this one unnecessary and I felt bad for the little girl. He wasn’t that funny overall either so I felt as though the positive didn’t outweigh that negative.

Spent this evening at the awesome live Painted Pony Championship Rodeo! We were a group of 7, 5 adults and 2 seniors. The seating for the seniors was perfect and we had a delightful time.
The barbecue buffet at 6 and the rodeo at 8. I don’t think the barbecue can be beat for flavor and choice. It was totally family friendly and I’d go again!
At 26 $ an adult for both rodeo and dinner it was a fun event!

AWESOME FAMILY FUN!!!
A great deal for a meal with a show. They had a separate line for those that used «Living Social» to purchase tickets in advance.
The staff was friendly, the food (barbecue style buffet) was good and the show (rodeo & bull riding) was awesome!
This was my family’s 1^st time to a rodeo and we loved the whole experience! Great event for kids. Very entertaining.
Would recommend it as a MUST to anyone visiting the area or vacationing in the Lake George area like us.

Great barbecue and great family fun await you at this rodeo. I give it 3 stars because I don’t like sitting on those benches. Very dangerous! But all in all it’s great family fun for everyone and 1 of the main reasons why I visit Lake George every here.

The rodeo was great, but SKIP THE FOOD! wish someone would have warned us. Everything was covered in flies and the food was barely edible. Downright gross to be honest and it wasnt cheap either! The disgusting food experience left a bad taste in our mouths (pardon the pun) and although the rodeo was quite awesome, I will forever remember and associate the fly infested, poor excuse for BBQ food with my rodeo experience.

The rodeo wasn’t bad but the food was horrible! The chicken wasn’t cooked, the ribs tasteless, the hamburger was like rubber and the drinks were clearly from a mix. The corn tasted like it came from a can and the Cole slaw was a watery mess. My son liked the beans but the rest of us barely ate because it was so bad! The watermelon was good but the packaged cookies were nasty. Definitely skip the BBQ.
Most of the rodeo was very good, It lasts about 2 hrs with a brief intermission. I wasn’t a fan of the calf tying but the rest of the rodeo was good.

Here’s the basics…
For the BBQ-​Go for the ribs, beans, watermelon and the hot dogs. Everything else is disappointing. Corn and salad was soggy. Eating area was large, nicely built and covered, friendly staff!
Rodeo-​Fun, but be careful you might feel bad for the calves that get lassoed and thrown to the ground. Also, seating is BARE wood, so bring something to sit on for two hours.

3.5 stars. I got a taste of bull riding the other day and thought I’d go check out the real thing.
I put my best western shirt, dungarees and a pair of boots and drove out to Lake Lezurne. We arrived about a half hour late and paid $ 16 to get in.
The Painted Piny is a legit rodeo. There were hats and dusty pants, dusty air too and I’d be aware of where the breeze is as it can be unpleasant if you have to breath in dust all night.
A rodeo is actually pretty exciting and it is a good night of entertainment. Bull riding is great fun to watch and it takes some guts to do. Some of the bulls looked pretty uninterested but others were pissed and I cant believe people willingly subject themselves to that.
Calf roping involves jumping off a moving horse, onto a bull with horns, dragging that bull to the ground and then tying it’s legs up. How do you even practice that?
They loose a star because the clown whose main job is to keep an angry bull away from a fallen rider (he did a good job at that) was a awful entertainer. He stumbled through a few really long jokes with no clear end, he was not funny or interesting and there seemed to be as much of this fluff as there was sweet rodeo action.

BBQ from 6−8pm, was excellent! Rodeo itself started just after that, and me being a rider, of course i enjoyed it, but my non horsey husband seemed to enjoy it as well as my son. Like someone else said, its not just a rodeo, its entertainment from the MC and rodeo clowns! Just a real fun night out and some good food! A must see if you are in the area. They run from 4^th of July weekend to Labor day weekend, every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.

These guys put on a very good show. It starts at about 8pm, but if you’re feeling hungry, you can hit the rodeo barbecue that starts at 6pm and is located right across from the stadium. The food there is very good as well.
The show lasts about 2 to 2.5 hours. It includes horse riding, bull riding, cattle roping, steer wrestling, and other events. It’s not all about rodeo events though. The show itself is actually filled with comedy. We usually laugh our asses off through most of the show.
I’d recommend giving it a try even if you’re not the rodeo type. I thought the show was not going to be all that exciting my first visit, but in the end I enjoyed the show and now I can’t stay away.
