While many in the Bay Area celebrated Fourth of July with fireworks, drone shows and barbecue, in the town of Woodside, people from across the state gathered to watch the 73rd annual July Fourth Woodside Junior Rodeo.

Over 160 contestants between the ages of 6 to 18 participated in 27 events while about 3,000 people watched according to organizers, who said it was one of the largest crowds ever.

The rodeo is organized by the San Mateo County Mounted Patrol, an organization formed in 1942 after the attack on Pearl Harbor to patrol the coastline of San Mateo County on horseback. It is held at the patrol’s 23-acre facility located just down the street from $50 million homes.
