To spell “fun” in Darrington this weekend, you’ll want to use the letters R-O-D-E-O.

The 49th Annual Timber Bowl Rodeo starts today and continues through Sunday, featuring all things cowboy, as well as music, games for kids and something new this year — a carnival.

The professional Darrington Timber Bowl Rodeo is a sanctioned event and part of the Western Rodeo Association.

Expect to see lots of barrel racing, calf roping and bullriding. Kids’ events include the popular mutton busting.
